Thermal BOPP PCR Matt Lamination Film

Thermal BOPP PCR Matt Lamination Film combines a refined, low-glare finish with raw materials recovered from post-consumer plastic waste. Manufactured using 30% chemically recycled post-consumer raw material, it helps reduce reliance on virgin fossil-based resources while delivering a professional matt appearance.

This transparent film provides a protective finish for printed paper and board. Its heat-activated adhesive supports thermal lamination, while compatibility with decorative finishing processes makes it suitable for packaging, book covers, brochures and catalogues.

What is Thermal BOPP PCR Matt Lamination Film?

Thermal BOPP PCR Matt is a biaxially oriented polypropylene film with a matt surface and a pre-applied, heat-activated adhesive.

Thirty per cent of its raw material comes from chemically recycled post-consumer plastic. This process breaks down used plastic into its original components, enabling the production of new polymers for film manufacture.

The result combines recycled-origin raw materials with the appearance and processing performance expected from a conventional matt lamination film.
