Alongside its decorative gold effect, the film offers excellent printability and machinability, good barrier properties and compatibility with a wide range of further finishing processes.

PET Metallised Gold Lamination Film?

PET Metallised Gold Lamination Film is a specialist film featuring an opaque metallised gold surface with a highly reflective mirror effect.

Rather than simply adding shine to the original print, the gold metallised layer creates a completely different decorative surface that can become an integral part of the finished design.

The surface is chemically treated to provide good adhesion for subsequent processes, including oxidative and UV offset inks, adhesives, stamping and varnishes. This makes the film particularly versatile for premium print and packaging applications where lamination is only one stage of a more complex finishing process.

Available in both wet and thermal versions, Metallised Gold Lamination Film provides printers and converters with flexibility while delivering the same distinctive metallic gold appearance.
