Matte lamination is a process of applying a transparent plastic film with a matte finish to the surface of a paper product.

 

  • Provides a subtle and elegant appearance that is not reflective
  • Adds thickness and durability to the paper product
  • Enhances the tactile experience of the paper product
  • Has a low odor and is environmentally friendly
  • Reduces glare and makes it easier to read printed text
  • Protects printed colors from fading or damage- Achieved by applying a transparent plastic film pre-coated with a thermoplastic polymer adhesive to the paper surface
  • Hot-pressed with rollers to firmly attach it to the paper
  • Commonly used in applications such as book covers, packaging boxes, and business cards where a glossy finish is not desired

Unlike glossy lamination, matte lamination provides a subtle and elegant appearance that is not reflective. It has a soft texture and a sophisticated surface pattern, making it an ideal choice for products where a glossy finish is not desired, such as book covers, packaging boxes, and business cards.

 

Matte lamination has several features that make it a popular choice in the printing industry.

  • Firstly, it provides a non-reflective surface that reduces glare and makes it easier to read printed text.
  • Secondly, it adds thickness and durability to the paper product, protecting the printed colors from fading or damage.
  • Thirdly, it has a unique texture that enhances the tactile experience of the paper product, making it feel more luxurious and expensive.
  • Lastly, it has a low odor and is environmentally friendly.

 

Matte lamination is achieved by applying a transparent plastic film pre-coated with a thermoplastic polymer adhesive to the paper surface and then hot-pressing it with rollers to firmly attach it to the paper. The laminated film must be transparent, have good toughness, uniform texture, no sand eyes or air bubbles, and a smooth surface. It is usually made of polypropylene material and pre-coated with a thermoplastic polymer adhesive for bonding with paper.
