Adhesive Lamination

Adhesive lamination is a great way to elevate your packaging solutions. Not only is adhesive lamination relatively inexpensive to generate, but it is easier and faster to produce than other methods of lamination.

At Bison Bag, we are your partner in flexible packaging. We are proud to offer this method of flexible bag production to ensure you can better customize your packaging shape, material, and design for better customer satisfaction. The less you spend on the production of your flexible bags, the more you can pass cost-savings onto customers and source better quality products for greater profitability.

What is the Difference Between Adhesive and Extrusion Lamination?

During adhesive lamination, a single film material is coated with adhesive and then laminated onto a second film. Typically, this lamination process is repeated until the films are completely processed, creating a unique flexible packaging lamination in a range of shapes and colors.

Extrusion lamination, on the other hand, binds two films together using a molten resin which then creates the multiple layers. Because of the inaccuracies of this technique, however, Bison Bag does not provide extrusion laminated bags.

Adhesive lamination, using multiple adhesive on multiple layers of film, provides better protection for the products inside the bag, and enables better and more durable flexibility over a longer time, creating a superior product with more cost-effective methods.

What is the Difference Between Lamination and Bonding?

Lamination and bonding are often used interchangeably, but each refers to a unique process of combining materials. Lamination, in this case, refers specifically to the method of layering thin layers of film and adhesive together to ‘bond’ materials together.

While this enhances the durability and flexibility of your packaging, lamination is not the only type of bonding. Bonding often refers to a range of techniques that can include sewing, glueing, and welding. Depending on the materials being used and the use-case of the packaging, lamination is often preferred as it is much more precise and uniform. This is particularly true in industrial applications, such as packaging.

The Added Value of Adhesive Lamination

Choosing adhesive lamination for your flexible packaging is an excellent choice. Not only does this type of lamination extend the life of your product on the shelf and in a consumer’s pantry, but it improves the visual appeal of the product, and provides protection against moisture, UV light, and other types of environmental factors. These qualities combine to help your product stay fresher longer and enhance shelf stability, which is a necessity in chemical and food packaging applications.

With adhesive lamination, your products can exceed customer expectations. It is also easy to customize these types of products, creating solutions that align perfectly with your products needs and adding additional brand value to each product that hits the shelves.
