Laminating films re-designed
Corona activated technology
Our films with room temperature lamination are the alternative to the classic time and cost intensive production techniques of thermal and adhesive lamination for laminators and online printers. This is because the film is processed inline without any thermal lamination or adhesive coating but still provides reliable and stable bonds. As the tack is due to the polyolefin base instead of, for example, additional polyurethane adhesive, depending on the composite structure, the film solution is more recyclable.
The most important advantages at a glance
- Reduced time to market
Can be processed after only 1 hour - Ease of use
Without requiring special know how or technical operators - Recyclability
Due to the absence of polyurethane glue
- Minimal investment
No expensive thermo laminating machinery needed - Energy saving
Compared to classic processing - Award winning solution

Wide range of applications
What started as an idea to develop a faster version of adhesive laminating to help with the limited availability of thermal laminating materials and expand the possibilities for single material applications, has evolved into a unique and versatile solution.
Use as a sealing medium
For example, in the production of stand up pouches. Bonding of the PE film with the (PET) printing layer by corona treatment and roller printing.
Use as overlaminate
PE film as protection to printing to prevent ghost printing – ideal for protective films. Suitable for digital printing applications as well as solvent based inks.
Application for labels
PP version ideal as an alternative to the classic PP overlaminate or additional self-adhesive label as print image protection against moisture.
How it works
The co-extruded polyolefin based film is designed in such a way that the required tackiness of the chemical/mechanical bond of the low temperature reacting plastics is activated by the voltage of the (inline) corona treatment alone. The extremely high polarity is then sufficient for a stable bond to be achieved through the pressure applied from 3 bar, when joining the composites together.
Who is the film suitable for
For (digital) printers who:
- want to expand their flexible packaging sector, or wish to enter this sector
- are aiming for a diversified set-up by integrating laminating & converting
For laminators who:
- wish to expand, especially into countries with limited know-how and a shortage of skilled workers
- want to enter the market for the first time
For protective film manufacturers who:
- are looking for an ideal solution for trapped printing to prevent ghost printing on printed sticky protective films
- want to simplify the lamination process and cut production time in half

For label manufacturers
Protection & material savings in one solution
Labels are often used on packaging that is exposed to the cold chain and therefore to moisture. Without additional protection, the printed images quickly run the risk of being damaged by this moisture. Our new corona activated film solution replaces the conventional UV drying adhesive or another self-adhesive label. It stabilises the processing whilst at the same time helps to save material.
