Product Overview
A 10 to 250 micron thick thermal lamination film made from PET base film with EVA hot glue, used by buyers for decorating photos and various carton packaging due to its high brightness and surface durability. For a buyer, it enables a professional finish on printed materials without requiring in-house lamination equipment. The film is supplied on paper cores in widths up to 2000mm and can be applied with standard heat presses. We source it from partner factories, confirm the thickness and core size before mass production, and inspect each order before shipment.
Why Buyers Choose It
Key Benefits
- High brightness finish enhances the visual appeal of printed photos and packaging
- Durable surface resists scratches and wear during handling and transit
- Good bonding strength ensures the film adheres reliably to paper and board substrates
- Thermal application requires only a standard heat press, no special equipment needed
- Available in widths up to 2000mm, supporting large-format packaging and photo lamination
- Clear glossy finish preserves image detail while adding a protective layer
Problems It Solves
- Printed materials lose visual impact over time due to dulling or surface scratches
- Poor adhesion causes film to peel off during handling or shipping
- Lack of a consistent glossy finish leads to uneven appearance across batches
- Inadequate thickness results in film tearing during application or use
- Limited width options restrict the use of the film on larger packaging formats
- No standard core size leads to compatibility issues with existing laminating machines

How It Is Made
- We source the film from partner factories based on thickness, width, and core size requirements
- The factory produces the film with consistent thickness and glue layer distribution
- We confirm the thickness, width, and core size before mass production begins
- Each order is checked before shipment for correct dimensions, core size, and roll integrity
- We coordinate packaging and shipping to consolidate multiple orders into one shipment
Quality And Use
Quality Control
- Production monitored for consistent film thickness and glue layer uniformity
- Each order inspected before shipment for correct dimensions, core size, and surface quality
- No defects such as bubbles, wrinkles, or glue bleed are accepted before shipment
- Issues after receipt are handled directly with the sourcing contact who managed the order
Use Guide
- Ensure the heat press is set to the recommended temperature and pressure for EVA glue
- Feed the film and printed material through the press in the correct orientation
- Allow the film to cool after lamination to ensure full adhesion
- Avoid applying the film to surfaces with high moisture or oil content
- Store unused rolls in a dry, flat environment to prevent curling or damage
- Do not use the film on materials that are not heat-resistant or prone to warping
How It Compares
| Compared with | Honest trade-off |
|---|---|
| Matte lamination film | Glossy finish increases brightness and image depth, but may show fingerprints more easily |
| Cold lamination tape | Thermal application ensures stronger, more uniform bonding, but requires a heat press |
| Film with lower thickness (under 10 microns) | Higher thickness offers better durability and stiffness, but may be less flexible |
| Film with no core | Paper core enables easier handling and machine compatibility, but adds minor bulk |
