How to Master Tension Control for Monomaterial PE Film Lamination?

Converters switching to all-PE laminates for recyclability often run into the same problem: tension settings that worked fine for years on PET/PE structures start producing curling, uneven winding, or intermittent delamination once the structure changes to PE-PE. The film itself isn’t more difficult to work with. The issue is that most lamination equipment and operator…

Dry Lamination vs Extrusion Lamination

Dry Lamination vs Extrusion Lamination: Which Process Is Right for Your Packaging?

If you’ve spent any time sourcing flexible packaging, you’ve probably run into this question: should we go with dry lamination or extrusion lamination? On the surface, both processes bond layers of film together. But the differences in how they work and when to use each one can significantly affect your product quality, production cost, and…

Why Summer and Winter Require Different Temperature Settings on Your Laminating Machine?

If you’ve been running a laminating machine for a while, you’ve probably noticed something strange: the settings that worked perfectly last summer start causing problems once winter arrives. The film won’t bond properly, edges lift, or bubbles appear out of nowhere — even though you haven’t changed anything. You didn’t do anything wrong. The machine didn’t…

Mastering Web Tension in Solventless Lamination Machines for Defect-Free Packaging

In today’s flexible packaging industry, the solventless lamination process has become the preferred solution for manufacturers seeking higher efficiency, lower VOC emissions, and improved sustainability. However, while solventless technology eliminates solvent drying systems, it significantly increases sensitivity to one critical parameter: web tension control. In a modern solventless lamination machine, adhesive coating weight is extremely low—typically…

How Solvent Free Adhesive and Zero-Aging Technology Are Transforming Modern Packaging

In the last few decades, the packaging sector transitioned towards sustainability, food safety, and carbon mitigation. Abandoning the harmful substances in adhesive systems and applying the solventless laminating machines have been significantly helpful in reducing VOC emissions. However, the experience of many converters and many similar products shows that “solvent-free” does not always mean “fast” and…
