Wet Cellulose Biodegradable Gloss

Wet Cellulose Biodegradable Gloss Lamination Film is a fully sustainable, plastic-free alternative to conventional lamination films, designed to deliver exceptional clarity and a high-gloss finish. Manufactured from renewable wood pulp, this cellulose-based film provides a brilliant, high-shine surface while supporting environmentally responsible production.

Applied using a wet lamination process with water-based adhesive, it offers strong bonding, excellent print compatibility and durable surface protection. Ideal for premium packaging and high-impact print, this film enables brands to achieve maximum visual appeal while eliminating traditional plastic laminates.

What is Cellulose Gloss Lamination Film?

Cellulose gloss lamination film is a plant-based material derived from natural cellulose, typically sourced from wood pulp or cotton. Unlike traditional plastic films, it is biodegradable and compostable, offering a more sustainable solution for print and packaging applications.

In gloss form, the film provides extreme transparency and high brilliance, enhancing colours and creating a vibrant, high-impact finish on printed materials.

Key Features

• High gloss finish – Exceptional clarity and shine for maximum visual impact
• Plastic-free material – Made from renewable wood pulp rather than fossil-based plastics
• Biodegradable & compostable – Certified for environmentally responsible disposal
• Excellent surface energy – Ideal for printing, varnishing, foiling and glueing
• Durable surface – Hard-wearing and resistant to handling damage
• Wet lamination compatible – Designed for adhesive-based lamination systems

Benefits of Cellulose Gloss Lamination

This film combines sustainability with high-end visual performance:

• Outstanding visual impact – Enhances colour vibrancy and depth
• Plastic-free packaging solution – Supports zero-plastic and compostable packaging goals
• Premium gloss appearance – Creates a polished, high-quality finish
• Durable protection – Improves resistance to moisture, handling and wear
• Supports eco branding – Ideal for brands prioritising sustainability

Cellulose-based lamination films are increasingly used as sustainable alternatives to conventional plastics while maintaining performance and appearance.

Applications

Wet Cellulose Gloss Lamination Film is widely used in:

• Luxury and retail packaging
• Food and flexible packaging
• Cosmetics and premium product cartons
• Brochures, catalogues and marketing materials
• Labels and high-impact printed media

It is particularly suited to applications where maximum visual impact and sustainability must go hand in hand.

Wet vs Thermal Cellulose Lamination

• Wet lamination uses a liquid adhesive applied during processing
• Thermal lamination uses heat-activated adhesive

Wet lamination is typically preferred for high-volume production and specialist applications requiring strong adhesion and flexibility.
