Laminating technology refers to a product processing technique that uses a laminating machine to cover a transparent plastic film with a thickness of 0.012 to 0.020mm on the printing surface, thereby combining paper and plastic. Also known as post-pressing molding, post-pressing gluing, etc. The most common materials for packaging boxes in our daily life are white card paper, coated paper, etc. The coated packaging box is waterproof and scratch-resistant. Here, Tiandeli Packaging Box Customization introduces several commonly used types of lamination processes for packaging box surface paper.
Bright film: Also known as light film, it has a crystal clear surface effect, bright colors and remains unchanged for a long time. It has a soft touch and a mirror-like visual effect. The requirements for the film material of bright film are extremely high. Compared with matte films, packaging boxes with sequins are more likely to affect the overall aesthetic appeal if scratched, and after touching, sequins are more likely to leave fingerprints. So when customizing packaging boxes and applying a glossy film, it is necessary to test the film's scratch resistance and whether it is prone to leaving fingerprints.
Matte film: The most widely used type in the packaging industry, its most prominent feature is that it will not usurp the role of its owner. Visual elements, such as logos and images, will be added to most product boxes. Matte film can perfectly present the visual elements in the packaging box.
Tactile film: Visually, the film is somewhat similar to a matte film, with good wear resistance and color rendering. However, in terms of touch, the paper coated with a touch film is as smooth and fine as velvet.
To enhance the water resistance and protection of packaging boxes, it is very common to incorporate lamination processes in the customization of packaging boxes. In addition, different films can create different expressions for packaging. Through the above explanation, I hope it can help you choose the lamination type that suits you.
