Wet Gloss

Wet BOPP Gloss Lamination Film is a high-quality, versatile film designed to deliver exceptional clarity and a high-gloss finish to printed materials. Manufactured from bi-axially oriented polypropylene (BOPP), it enhances colour vibrancy, sharpness and visual impact while providing durable surface protection.

Applied using a wet lamination process with water-based adhesive, this film offers strong bonding, reliable machinability and a smooth, high-shine surface. It is widely used as a standard solution across commercial print, packaging and publishing applications where both appearance and durability are essential.

What is BOPP Gloss Lamination Film?

BOPP gloss lamination film is a polypropylene-based film that has been oriented in both the machine and transverse directions to improve strength, clarity and flexibility. It features a smooth, high-gloss surface that enhances printed materials by increasing colour vibrancy and contrast.

When used in wet lamination, the film is bonded to paper or board using a liquid adhesive, creating a durable protective layer that improves both appearance and lifespan.

Key Features

• High gloss finish – Provides exceptional clarity and shine
• BOPP construction – Strong, flexible and moisture resistant
• Excellent optical properties – Low haze and high transparency for sharp print
• Wet lamination compatible – Designed for adhesive-based systems
• Slip modified surface – Supports high-speed lamination
• Good anti-static properties – Ensures smooth processing

Benefits of Wet BOPP Gloss Lamination

Wet BOPP gloss lamination films provide both visual and functional advantages:

• Enhanced colour vibrancy – Makes colours appear brighter and more saturated
• High visual impact – Creates a polished, eye-catching finish
• Durable protection – Protects against moisture, scratches and handling wear
• Extended product lifespan – Maintains print quality during use and transport
• Cost-effective solution – Ideal for high-volume production

Lamination films are widely used because they protect printed materials while improving appearance, rigidity and resistance to environmental factors.

Applications

Wet BOPP Gloss Lamination Film is commonly used in:

• Brochures, catalogues and marketing materials
• Book covers and publications
• Carton and paperboard packaging
• Labels and printed media
• Retail and point-of-sale displays

It is the standard choice for applications requiring a bright, high-impact finish.

Wet vs Thermal Gloss 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 applications requiring strong adhesion and flexibility.

Why Choose BOPP Gloss Lamination?

BOPP is one of the most widely used lamination materials due to its:

• High clarity and gloss performance
• Moisture resistance and durability
• Flexibility and strength
• Cost-effectiveness for large-scale production

These properties make it the industry-standard choice for both print and packaging applications.
