Thermal BOPP PCR (Post Consumer Recycled) Gloss

Thermal BOPP PCR Gloss Lamination Film

Thermal BOPP PCR Gloss Lamination Film combines a bright, glossy appearance with 30% chemically recycled post-consumer raw material. Designed for printed paper and board, it provides a clear, polished finish while helping reduce demand for virgin fossil-based resources.

This transparent BOPP film features a heat-activated adhesive for thermal lamination. Its clarity and gloss make it suitable for image-led brochures, book covers, magazines and printed packaging.

What is Thermal BOPP PCR Gloss Lamination Film?

Thermal BOPP PCR Gloss is a biaxially oriented polypropylene film that adds a glossy protective layer to printed materials.

It incorporates raw material produced through the chemical recycling of post-consumer plastic waste. This converts discarded plastic into components that can be used to manufacture new polymers.

The film combines this recycled-origin material with a gloss finish and a pre-applied thermal adhesive, providing an alternative to films manufactured entirely from conventional fossil-based raw materials.
