What is Thermal Lamination?

Thermal lamination is a laminating process that we make paper or paperboard substrates naturally laminated together with plastic film due to effect of heat.

Sometimes it is called hot, dry or heat laminating.

We use adhesion glue of EVA to laminate, which is melted when being heated by a laminator roll. The key factors affecting adhesion bonding strength are laminating temperature, pressure and speed.

Compared with wet or cold lamination, thermal lamination is more convenient at operation, while costing overwhelmingly less.

Thermal lamination can be done at home or in office for small applications, like license card, menu cover, maps and so on.
