Film Lamination—Extra Protection for Your Labels

Give your labels the strength to withstand everyday wear and tear. Our crystal-clear film lamination:

• Adds a tough, scruff-resistant finish
• Protects against moisture, oils, and abrasion
• Keeps colors vibrant and artwork intact even with frequent handling

Ideal for:

• Food and beverage bottles that may be chilled or washed
• Cosmetics and toiletries used in damp environments
• Industrial or outdoor products exposed to rough handling

What is Film lamination?

Film lamination is when your printed labels, either paper or polypropylene is covered with a thin plastic film that both protects the print and refines its appearance. At Prime Labels we use wet lamination: the film is not self-adhesive but is bonded with a liquid glue, then fixed permanently under controlled pressure and UV light. Match the finish to the stock—choose a glossy film for glossy materials and a matt film for matt ones—for a seamless, premium look.

Labels with protective varnish or better with lamination?

Your labels merit superior protection! Depending on the resistance required, you can choose a protective varnish or opt for film lamination. While the varnish shields against everyday scuffs and colour rub-off, our matte or glossy laminate delivers stronger, long-lasting defence and a premium look. This treatment not only enhances the ruggedness of each label but also significantly extends its service life. Lamination starts with a thin coat of adhesive applied to the printed sheets; under calibrated pressure and UV light, the plastic film bonds tightly and permanently to the surface. We particularly recommend this finishing solution for cosmetics, household chemicals and similarly demanding applications.
