Summary:Nov 26,2020

Film laminates are simply layers of film or resins that are bonded together by various methods, producing a strong, multiply end product.

The reason why film laminates are necessary in the creation of flexible packaging is because a single layer, multi-purpose, cost-effective film that has extensive barrier characteristics and structural versatility doesn't exist. While a simple, inexpensive, 1-ply film might be more than adequate for making a bag for a loaf of bread, difficult contents (e.g., liquids and foods that can spoil) necessitate a more sophisticated solution. Hence, film laminates to the rescue!

In a film laminate, each layer provides one or more of the required attributes:

One or more barriers

A bond or seal

A physical characteristic (e.g., puncture or tear resistance)

A functional aesthetic surface

A suitable printing surface

For a flexible package to be able to do its job in protecting and showcasing the product contained within, the film laminate that it is made out of has to be thoughtfully crafted, tested, and proven through extensive usage.

FDA- and EU-compliant

Tried and true films

As mentioned in the Film laminate structures section above, Totai America uses a wide variety of FDA- and EU-compliant film materials to construct our exceptional film laminates.

Commonly-used film materials (offered in various gauges) include, but are not limited to:

OPP

CPP (also in white)

LLDPE (also in white)

Nylon

PET

Aluminum foil

Various clear, high-barrier films

Various metalized films

Specialty films for special projects

Using specialty films (with features like multiple barriers in a single, fine-gauge film) might also be deemed to be appropriate for particular projects – costs and logistics permitting.

Film properties

All of these films provide various barrier characteristics and allow us to build laminate structures with features like:

Heat-resistance

Freezer-ready

Microwave-safe

Puncture-resistance

Easy, directional peelability

Ruico have a series of water based film lamination adhesives for wet lamination. For more technical information, please contact:
