Lamination Film
Lamination film is a multilayer packaging film used in flexible packaging to improve product protection, sealing performance, and overall packaging efficiency. It is widely used in food and consumer goods packaging that requires moisture protection, product preservation, and reliable performance throughout processing, storage, and distribution.
TPBI uses advanced LLDPE blown film technology in a high-standard clean room environment to produce premium lamination films with consistent quality. Available in both 3-layer and 7-layer structures, our lamination films are designed to support a wide range of food packaging and flexible packaging applications, with strong attention to cleanliness for structures that may come into direct contact with food.
- Snack food packaging
- Crisps and corn flakes packaging
- Sauce and ingredient packaging
- Coffee packaging
- Dairy product packaging
- Frozen food packaging
- Flexible packaging for consumer goods
- Other flexible packaging applications for food products
Choosing the Right Films for Lamination
When selecting films for the lamination process, it is important to first understand what type of product the packaging will be used for and what packaging properties are required. For example, the packaging may need to provide moisture protection, gas barrier performance, heat resistance, or extended shelf life. Once these requirements are clearly defined, the most suitable film structure can be selected for the lamination process.
- Polyethylene (PE) Film
Polyethylene, or PE, is commonly used as the innermost layer of packaging because it is the layer that comes into direct contact with food. The most used PE films in lamination are LDPE and LLDPE. These films offer good flexibility, strong heat-sealing performance, and resistance to certain chemicals and acids. They are widely used in packaging applications such as chilled bags and zipper bags. - Polypropylene (PP) Film
Polypropylene, or PP, commonly used in lamination includes CPP and BOPP. These films are known for their clarity, gloss, toughness, and good tensile strength. They also provide good water resistance. In laminated packaging, CPP and BOPP are often used together, with CPP serving as the inner layer to help protect the product from printed ink on the BOPP layer. This type of film is often used for cigarette packaging and packaging that needs product visibility. - Polyester (PET) Film
Polyester films, especially BOPET, is widely used in laminated packaging. It offers excellent gloss, tear resistance, impact resistance, dimensional stability, and high heat resistance. It also provides good gas barrier performance. PET film is commonly used for flexible packaging such as snack pouches, where maintaining crispness and product quality is important. - Nylon / Polyamide (PA) Film
The most common polyamide film used in lamination is BOPA. This film is known for its excellent toughness, leak resistance, and ability to withstand both high and low temperatures. It is widely used for frozen food packaging, rice bags, and vacuum packaging applications. - Metalized Film
Metalized film is coated with aluminum, giving the packaging a shiny and attractive appearance. In addition to its visual appeal, it offers good gas barrier properties and helps extend product shelf life. It is commonly used in food packaging such as snack pouches, instant coffee sachets, and 3-in-1 coffee packaging. - Aluminum Foil
Aluminum foil is one of the highest-performance materials used in laminated packaging. It provides excellent protection against gas, moisture, light, and external environmental conditions, helping preserve product quality for a longer period. Although it is more expensive than other film types, it is widely used in packaging for food, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods in both solid and liquid forms. It can also provide a premium metallic appearance like metalized film.
