📦 Products & Specifications
Q1: What is cold lamination film and how is it different from hot lamination?
A: Cold lamination film uses pressure-sensitive adhesive that bonds without heat. Unlike hot lamination which requires 100-150°C temperatures, cold lamination:
  • ✅ Works with heat-sensitive materials (inkjet prints, photos)
  • ✅ Can be applied by hand or with cold laminators
  • ✅ Safer for delicate documents and photographs
  • ✅ No warm-up time required
Our cold lamination film is available in glossy, matte, satin, and textured finishes with thicknesses from 80mic to 150mic.
Q2: What widths and lengths are available for your lamination films?
A: We offer standard and custom sizes:
