Lamination and Coating Machines – All You Need To Know

Lamination Machines

The paper cup coating lamination machine is for the modification of the base material. Lamination is used to increase the water resistance and strength of the product, and to improve the surface of the material for a better finish and better quality printing.
  • A compound product is made through saturating the base material with the binding agents. The binding agents might be polypropylene or polyester foil.
  • Lamination can be either cold or hot. In the hot Lamination, the material is saturated with the agent at temperatures between 90 and 120 Celsius. Cold lamination could either be wet or dry.
  • Dry lamination is the application of the foil application on the under-pressure base material. And is a costly and slow process. It is used for the adjustments of photographs and digital marketing.
  • Wet lamination is used for high capacity printing (e.g., rotary offset printing). In the wet lamination, a layer of glue is applied in between base paper and coat foil, then the bond is completed with a pressure roller.

    • Coating Machines

    • The application of the additional material of the solid base refers to coating, it is used to mix the properties of the applied material with the properties of the base.
    • The mechanical properties- above all the mechanical strength of the base are used. The applied material adds more properties that the base would lack. The products have more increased water resistance and aesthetic properties.
    • Improving the quality of printing on the paper product can be made possible by the coating, as compared to printing on the base material.
    • The coating is done on paper, foil, solid base paper, cellophane, textiles.
    • For coating the product of regular shapes, the rotary machine is used, a planar coating is used for the irregular shaped products.
