Its highly reflective metallised surface adds instant visual impact, helping packaging, brochures, covers and other printed products achieve a distinctive premium appearance.

The reflective silver surface can be used as a design feature in its own right or combined with printed graphics to create eye-catching metallic effects, making Silver Metallised Lamination Film an excellent choice for luxury packaging, promotional print and high-end branded applications.

What is PET Metallised Silver Lamination Film?

PET Metallised Silver Lamination Film is a specialist PET film with a metallised surface designed to create a highly reflective, mirror-like silver appearance.

Rather than simply adding shine like a conventional clear gloss laminate, the metallised layer introduces a silver reflective surface that becomes part of the finished design. This provides designers with opportunities to use the metallic background creatively alongside printed artwork, branding and further finishing.

The film also offers good printability, allowing additional decoration to be applied to the surface. According to the manufacturer’s specification, it is suitable for screen printing, digital varnish and both oxidative and UV offset printing.

Metallised Silver Lamination Film provides a versatile option for printers and converters looking to introduce premium metallic effects into print and packaging.
