What is solventless lamination?
Solventless lamination is an advanced method in the printing and packaging industry, where multiple film layers (BOPP, PET, CPP, etc.) are bonded using solvent-free adhesives.
Unlike solvent-based lamination, this process involves no solvent evaporation or emission, making it cleaner, faster, and more cost-efficient.
