Dimensional stability for thin paper and deep folds
PET Thermal Lamination Film
Polyester-based laminating film with higher tensile strength and lower elongation than BOPP. It is specified where sheets are thin, heavily folded or repeatedly handled, because the film resists stretching during lamination.
Construction
How this family is built
Polyester-based laminating film with higher tensile strength and lower elongation than BOPP. It is specified where sheets are thin, heavily folded or repeatedly handled, because the film resists stretching during lamination.
- Structure
- PET base film 8–15 µm + EVA or water-based adhesive
- Adhesive
- EVA hot melt, activation window 90–112 °C
- Base substrate
- PET
- Process
- Hot roller lamination
- 01
Low elongation keeps register on long sheets
- 02
Handles lighter paper weights without curl
- 03
Stable under repeated folding and handling

Series comparison within this family
Surface and converting behaviour are given as relative bands rather than numeric claims, because the result also depends on board, ink and machine settings.
| Series | Gloss | Scuff behaviour | Converting |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gloss | High (≥ 88 GU) | High | Folding, cutting |
| Matt | Low (< 10 GU) | High | Folding, gluing |
| High flex | Medium | High | Deep fold, spine |
| Anti-scratch | High (≥ 90 GU) | Very high | Fold, die-cut |
Family questions
Asked before ordering
Yes. The high flex grade is commonly used on board books where the sheet is folded repeatedly along the spine.
PET is denser and generally costs more per square metre, but it feels stiffer and resists stretching. For most cartons BOPP is sufficient; specify PET when dimensional stability matters.
