Gloss laminating film is available in two main compositions: thermal/hot/dry gloss laminating film and cold/wet gloss laminating film. It can also be classified by base film material: BOPP gloss laminating film and PET gloss laminating film.
High quality laminating film imparts an excellent glossy finish to substrates after lamination. It protects substrates from water and moisture while enhancing tactile experience, making it particularly suitable for lamination and printing applications.
24mic and 27mic thicknesses are prevalent on the market.

Gloss laminating film is produced by multi extrusion coating lines. It consists of two layers: a plastic film (primarily BOPP or PET) and an adhesive glue layer of EVA. Also known as dry, hot, or heat laminating film.
Printing houses typically use BOPP gloss laminating film rolls for commercial and school printing applications. It can also be used for graphic arts large format printing. The transparent film lamination, available in bright/shine/glossy or matte/dull finishes, is heated as protection on paper covers. Sometimes referred to as paper lamination film using heated EVA adhesive glue on paper substrates.
