High Precision Film Lamination
Surface Protection & Luxury Hand-Feel

Shielding Inks While Creating Unforgettable Tactile Presence

Lamination bonds an ultra-thin, high-clarity polymer film to printed paperboard sheets using heated precision chrome rollers under continuous pneumatic pressure. This process permanently seals the ink film against humidity, moisture, finger oils, transit abrasion, and cracking along creased fold lines.

Beyond mechanical shielding, lamination dictates the consumer's tactile interaction with your brand. From deep high-gloss sheen that enhances colour saturation to velvety soft-touch matte films that communicate luxury, SHMI provides precision sheetfed lamination for folding cartons, litho-laminated corrugated boxes, and luxury rigid packaging.

  • High-Clarity Thermal Lamination — zero adhesive hazing or bubble delamination
  • Velvety Soft-Touch Films — opulent tactile texture ideal for cosmetics and premium tech
  • Anti-Scuff Matte Technology — resists fingernail scratches and dark scuff marks during handling
  • Crack-Proof Crease Performance — prevents toner cracking along sharp 90° carton edges
