Eco – ‘Green’ lamination film made from highly refined wood pulp has the same appearance as OPP lamination but can be recycled with standard recycling products.
Gloss OPP lamination provides a wide range of uses across a whole spectrum of printed products. The properties of good gloss and strength and the advantages of low cost make it suitable for lots of applications. Perfect for brochures, catalogues, book covers, magazines and reports.
