Thermal Gloss

Thermal Gloss Lamination – Litho Gloss Lamination Films are specialised materials used to enhance the visual appeal and durability of printed products. These films are designed to be laminated onto paper or other materials using heat activation.

Litho Gloss Lamination Films are commonly used for high-quality packaging applications, such as magazine covers, book covers, and promotional materials. They offer a premium look and feel that can help brands differentiate their products from competitors. These gloss films give the finished substrate excellent clarity and slip properties. The lamination process also provides an additional layer of protection to the printed material.

These films are available in a range of finishes, including brand-new sustainable options and can be customised to enhance your specific branding and design requirements. The thermal lamination process is fast and efficient, making it a popular choice for small to large-scale production runs.

Thermal BioPP (30% Biobased PP) Gloss

BioPP films are produced using 30% Biobased PP resin obtained from 2nd generation Bio feedstock (waste vegetable cooking oils) and 70% Virgin PP.  These films are made of polypropylene resins of the same quality as traditional fossil fuel-based resins and are ideal for both the graphic arts and packaging industries.  They repurpose waste material into biobased PP, reducing the use of fossil fuel-based resins.  BioPP laminating films offer a sustainable alternative that supports the environment and our sustainability goals.

This high gloss film provides excellent clarity and slip properties.

Thermal Cellulose Acetate Bio-degradable Gloss

Our acetate film is a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic films as it is made from wood pulp, a natural and renewable source. This material is considered paper and board according to UK Packaging waste regulations and is certified to ASTM D6400, EN 13432 standards. Acetate’s base film is biodegradable and accredited with being both home and industrially compostable, making it an eco-friendly option.

The high surface energy of acetate film makes it ideal for printing, varnishing, foil blocking, adhesive coating, and gluing. The finish has an extremely high gloss level and a harder-wearing surface, making it less prone to scratches.

Thermal BOPP PCR (Post Consumer Recycled) Gloss

Thermal BOPP PCR films are commonly used in the printing industry to enhance printed materials’ durability and appearance.  PCR stands for Post Consumer Recycled, making these films an excellent choice for any sustainable-conscious company.  Post Consumer Recycled Polypropylene (waste taken from the manufacturing production lines) is either mechanically or chemically cleaned and processed which is then extruded with the virgin PP reducing the amount of waste generated during the manufacturing process.

Not only are these films produced using more environmentally friendly materials and processes, Polypropylene is also known for its high-quality finish. This high gloss film provides excellent clarity and slip properties.

Thermal BOPP Antimicrobial Gloss

Antimicrobial laminate is the latest print-related COVID-protection tech to control bacteria and handle virus elimination on printed materials.

Thermal BOPP Antimicrobial Gloss is a type of Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) film that has been specially designed with antimicrobial properties. This means that the film inhibits the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms on its surface, with the ability to eliminate 99% of bacteria and 84.15% of viruses within 24 hours that are known to cause health issues and illness. These films are commonly used in high-traffic areas such as hospitals, schools, restaurants and public transportation systems to reduce the risk of infection and the spread of disease. This high gloss film provides excellent clarity and slip properties.

To maintain its effectiveness, it is recommended to clean the surface with a non-abrasive, non-aggressive cleaner or chemical.

Thermal BOPP Anti-scratch Gloss

Thermal BOPP Anti-scratch Gloss is a specialised type of Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) film that has been engineered to resist scratches and other types of damage that can occur during handling and transportation.  The film has a unique coating that provides a protective layer that enhances its durability and prevents it from becoming scratched or scuffed whilst pertaining to its high gloss finish.  The anti-scratch properties of Thermal BOPP Anti-scratch make it an ideal choice for packaging applications where the product needs to be protected during transportation and handling.  This high gloss film provides excellent clarity and slip properties

When protection is important this anti-scratch premium product is your go-to. Designed to both protect and maintain a luxury feel, this film delivers fantastic surface tension properties and is receptive to toner print. This perfectly lends itself to accepting further secondary printing and finishing processes, like toner foil and UV varnishing a lot easier.
