Archbond provides reliable industrial lamination services for UK manufacturers in a range of sectors. With over 30 years of experience, our custom laminated products are always consistent, cost-effective and high quality. Work is handled in-house, for quality control and fast turnaround.
Industrial lamination is the technique of bonding two or more flexible packaging webs together using a bonding agent. This bonded structure can be engineered to suit various performance goals – including heat resistance, durability, moisture protection or enhanced appearance.
Whether working with paper, film or aluminium foil, we’ll identify the most suitable adhesive system for the job. Our machines handle a wide range of roll widths and substrates, so you can count on consistent results from our highly sophisticated laminate machines.
We’ve laminated materials for applications ranging from construction and automotive through to retail packaging, insulation and flooring. If your project demands strong, lightweight and stable results, we’ll make sure your lamination process is fully aligned with your production needs.
Benefits of Industrial Lamination
Industrial lamination plays a vital role across a wide range of sectors, enhancing product performance, presentation and protection. By bonding materials together under heat and pressure, lamination strengthens the underlying structure while also delivering specific surface properties — whether that’s gloss, grip, moisture resistance or hygiene control.
One major benefit of our industrial lamination capabilities is found in laminate flooring. It’s beneficial for any commercial business thanks to its robust properties, enhanced safety and longevity. Areas exposed to frequent moisture benefit greatly from the durable surface provided by laminate flooring, especially high-traffic areas which see a lot of movement. The enhanced resistance to wear and tear makes for a safe and reliable surface for all your business activities.
At Archbond, we specialise in creating durable industrial flooring and laminated food packaging. Industrial lamination is also used to:
- Improve the appearance of products
- Serve as a barrier between the product and the environment
- Add a scratch-resistant surface
- Increase the colour saturation of printed photos
- Offer UV protection
- Provide products with a high-quality finish
Whether it’s durable flooring or food packaging, industrial lamination can safeguard your floors as well as your food. The benefits of lamination extend far beyond any specific industry or product.

What is Industrial Lamination Used For?
Packaging Solutions
In packaging, lamination is used to improve the material’s strength, attractiveness and barrier qualities, resulting in a longer shelf life and better aesthetics.
Printed Materials
Lamination offers a shield for printed materials against wear and environmental effects, preserving both appearance and durability.
Industrial Applications
Industrial lamination fills specialised tasks for a range of industrial sectors. It can improve the insulating qualities and provide better protection from the environment.
Automotive and Aerospace Components
In the automotive and aerospace industries, lamination is essential for the performance, resistance and longevity of parts.
Signage and Graphics
Lamination provides both protection and enhancement for signage and graphics, keeping them colourful and undamaged for longer. It also adds a glossy or matte appearance.
Food Conveyor Systems
A PVC film can be laminated onto soft foam to create a ‘soft landing’ conveyor belt, ideal for transporting fruit, vegetables and other food items.
How We Perform Industrial Lamination
Hot Melt Adhesive Lamination
Hot melt adhesive lamination is a fast, efficient bonding method used to laminate various flexible substrates. It’s suited to continuous production lines and high-volume output. Our hot melt adhesive lamination process is tailored for industrial settings where speed, reliability and versatility matter.
PUR Adhesive Lamination
PUR adhesive lamination uses reactive polyurethane to form exceptionally strong, long-lasting bonds. It’s ideal for applications that demand heat, moisture and chemical resistance. We use PUR adhesive lamination to produce high-quality laminated foams, films and fabrics.
Infrared Lamination
Infrared lamination uses infrared radiation to rapidly activate adhesives, creating a strong, smooth bond between materials. It’s a faster, energy-efficient process that produces durable, professional finishes. Often used with various film types, it helps eliminate air bubbles and wrinkles while offering protection against UV, moisture and general wear.
The Industrial Lamination Process
Industrial lamination is the wide-ranging process of bonding multiple layers of material to improve strength, durability or function. At Archbond, we work with a wide range of substrates, including foams, films and other specialist composites, and laminate them using a variety of methods.
The exact process we use for each specific requirement depends on the materials and performance requirements involved. Some projects use hot melt adhesives for speed and efficiency, while others rely on PUR adhesives for added chemical and heat resistance. For delicate materials, infrared lamination offers a more targeted, lower-impact alternative.
All our lamination processes and machines are designed to ensure total, precise control over pressure, temperature and feed rate as materials are laminated, which is essential when working with specialist materials and tight tolerances. Whether you need strength, flexibility or environmental resistance, our engineers ensure the right technology and materials are selected to suit the exact needs of your application.
