Cold
laminating film, sometimes called tape laminating uses pressure
sensitive adhesives to bind the film to the material being laminated.
This film is most important for the documents that are heat sensitive.
This film can be manufactured with anything from polyester to
polycarbonate to vinyl. The film was originated in China. Cold laminated
films are widely used for packaging. Candy wrappers, packaging pouches,
bags, gift wrappers, cosmetic packaging materials are various packaging
products made out of cold laminated films. Cold Laminating Film provides a brilliant finish that boost color and offers crisp definition to any image print. It provide an aggressive and permanent bond to image print.
Cold Lamination is a process in which only one side of the document is laminated. This lamination is done when the ink or paper used for a document is too sensitive to heat. The surface of the document is flooded with a water-soluble adhesive. It is then sent through a set of rollers with the laminating film rolled onto the top of the adhesive and the document. Pressure is applied to bond the film to the document.
