Cold Lamination

Cold Lamination is a protective finishing process where a self-adhesive film is applied to printed box surfaces using pressure instead of heat.

In our box manufacturing process, the adhesive-coated lamination film is pressed onto the printed sheet using rollers. Unlike hot lamination, this method does not require heated rollers, making it suitable for heat-sensitive materials and specific production conditions.

Cold lamination provides surface protection, improved durability, and enhanced appearance while maintaining material stability.

🔍 How It Works

1. Box artwork is printed (Digital or Offset).

2. Self-adhesive lamination film is aligned over the surface.

3. Pressure rollers bond the film without heat.

4. Laminated sheets proceed to die-cutting and box conversion.

The adhesive layer permanently bonds to the printed surface.

🎯 Available Finishes

• Gloss Cold Lamination

• Matte Cold Lamination

🎯 Best For

• Heat-sensitive printed materials

• Digitally printed sheets

• Short-run production

• Large format printed sheets

• Situations where heat may cause warping

✅ Advantages

• No heat exposure (safe for sensitive prints)

• Protects against moisture and surface scratches

• Maintains dimensional stability

• Faster setup in certain production cases

• Suitable for short-run or specialty applications

⚠️ Limitations / Considerations

• Adhesion strength slightly lower compared to hot lamination

• May show minor edge lifting if not applied correctly

• Slightly higher material cost in some cases

• Not always recommended for very high-volume automated production

📊 Cold vs Hot Lamination (General Guidance)

• Standard Premium Box Production → Hot Lamination Preferred

• Heat-Sensitive / Digital / Special Applications → Cold Lamination Recommended

⚙️ Technical Notes

• Applicable only to boxes manufactured by us

• Should be selected during production planning stage

• Pricing depends on box size, finish type, and quantity
