Lamination
Why the lamination of Italbond
Thanks to this finishing process, Italbond is able to make the print much more vivid and brilliant. It is also possible to give the support special effects such as scratch resistance, soft touch effect and embossing effect.
We also have specific ecological solutions.
A positive impact on the image and the message.
Lamination is a process by which a support is coupled with a polymeric film, making the surfaces more bright or elegant. It is also often the basis for other finishing processes, such as glossy screen printing on matt films, UV offset overprinting on silver metallized films or with a holographic effect, effects particularly requested in the luxury packaging sector.

Transfer technique
In order to substain the more ecological products, Italbond has decided to offer a special paper metallization technique that allows to reduce the introduction of plastic film in the packaging and paper converting market. The process is known as Transfer and consists of transferring a layer of metal directly onto the paper using a special recoverable film.
The final result will be a perfectly metallized support without the plastic layer. Depending on the characteristics of the paper it will be possible to obtain a high quality optical result, the metallized surface is also suitable for printing or gluing. The finished product can be disposed of in the separate paper collection.
Processing with compostable films
La preferenza per imballi compostabili è un trend che coinvolge sempre più Consumatori i quali riconoscono nel recupero e riutilizzo dei materiali un modo concreto per ridurre l’impatto ambientale degli imballi immessi nel mercato. Per questo motivo Italbond ha messo a punto una gamma di pellicole biodegradabili e compostabili certificate secondo lo standard ISO 13432. Grazie alle nostre pellicole è possibile realizzare accoppiati compostabili per il packaging alimentare e packaging generico.
Elegance, pleasantness and shielding from external agents.
Depending on the film, the laminations can be glossy, opaque, scratch-resistant and soft touch, giving it pleasantness and new features.
