Thermal BioPP Matt

Thermal BioPP Matt Lamination Film is a sustainable finishing film designed to provide a refined non-reflective matt appearance while reducing reliance on fossil fuel-based plastics. Manufactured using 30% biobased polypropylene resin derived from second-generation renewable feedstocks such as waste vegetable oils, this film delivers the same performance and machinability as traditional BOPP laminates with improved sustainability credentials.

Featuring a heat-activated adhesive coating, this thermal lamination film enables fast and efficient processing while enhancing the appearance and durability of printed materials. Ideal for graphic arts, commercial print and packaging applications, it combines premium matt aesthetics with environmentally conscious material innovation.

What is BioPP Matt Thermal Lamination Film?

BioPP Matt Thermal Lamination Film is a bi-axially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film produced using a blend of renewable biobased polypropylene and conventional virgin PP resin. The renewable content is sourced from second-generation bio feedstocks such as waste vegetable cooking oils, helping reduce dependency on fossil fuel-derived materials.

The film features a smooth matt surface with a heat-activated adhesive layer designed for thermal lamination processes. This allows efficient bonding to printed paper and board without the need for separate wet adhesive systems. Thermal BioPP films maintain the same clarity, strength and converting performance as standard thermal BOPP films while supporting more sustainable packaging and print production.

Benefits of Thermal BioPP Matt Lamination

Thermal BioPP Matt films combine sustainability with high-quality print finishing performance:

• Reduced environmental impact – Uses renewable biobased content to lower dependence on fossil-based plastics
• Premium matt appearance – Creates a sophisticated non-reflective finish suitable for luxury packaging and print
• Efficient thermal processing – Heat-activated adhesive enables clean and fast lamination workflows
• Excellent durability – Helps protect against moisture, handling wear and surface damage
• Strong converting performance – Performs similarly to standard thermal BOPP films
• Supports sustainable branding – Ideal for environmentally conscious packaging and print projects

BioPP films are increasingly used in graphic arts and packaging because they provide a credible sustainable alternative without compromising converting performance or finish quality.

Applications

Thermal BioPP Matt Lamination Film is widely used in:

• Luxury and retail packaging
• Brochures and catalogues
• Book covers and presentation folders
• Cosmetics and premium cartons
• Corporate print and marketing materials
• Food and consumer packaging
• Sustainable branded packaging projects

It is particularly suited to applications where premium matt appearance and sustainability are both important.

Thermal vs Wet BioPP Lamination

• Thermal lamination uses a pre-coated heat-activated adhesive
• Wet lamination requires a separate liquid adhesive during processing

Thermal lamination is typically preferred for:

• cleaner processing
• faster setup
• shorter production runs
• efficient lithographic print finishing

Wet lamination is often used for:

• high-volume production
• specialist converting requirements

Why Choose Thermal BioPP Matt Films?

Thermal BioPP matt films are increasingly used because they:

• Reduce fossil fuel dependency through renewable material content
• Deliver the same performance as standard BOPP films
• Create sophisticated premium matt finishes
• Support sustainable packaging strategies
• Improve durability and print lifespan
• Enable efficient thermal lamination workflows

These qualities make BioPP matt films highly effective for environmentally conscious packaging and premium print applications.
