FAQ – Frequently asked questions about lamination systems
What is industrial lamination?
Lamination is the process of bonding two or more materials to obtain a multilayer structure with specific technical characteristics. This process is used to improve the performance of the final product and prepare the material for subsequent cutting, die-cutting or assembly stages.
Which materials can be bonded?
Lamination systems can process numerous flexible and technical materials, including plastic films, adhesive materials, PET, foams, technical fabrics, composite materials, liners and other substrates used in converting and industrial production processes.
What advantages does a line with integrated lamination offer?
Integrating lamination directly into the production line makes it possible to eliminate intermediate processes, reduce material handling, increase bonding precision and improve the overall productivity of the process.
What is finger lift and when is it used?
Finger lift is a process that creates a tab on the liner or support material to facilitate the removal of the label or adhesive component during application. It is a solution particularly used for self-adhesive products and technical components intended for assembly.
What is island placement?
Island placement is a process that allows die-cut components to be automatically repositioned on the liner with a predetermined spacing. This solution facilitates subsequent assembly, automatic application or packaging operations.
Is it possible to combine lamination and cutting systems in the same machine?
Yes. Our machines are designed to integrate lamination, kiss-cutting, total cutting, laser cutting and other processes within the same production cycle. This configuration makes it possible to optimise the process, reduce production times and improve the quality of the final result.
Can lamination systems be customised?
Certainly. Each lamination module can be configured according to the materials to be processed, the number of layers to be bonded, its position within the line and the required level of automation, offering a solution perfectly adapted to the customer’s production requirements.
In which industrial sectors is lamination used?
Lamination systems are used in the automotive, electronics, medical, converting, packaging, label production, technical materials and adhesive component sectors, where precise, reliable and perfectly repeatable multilayer structures are required.
