Film coating entails the application of thin foil onto the substrate. It is one of the fundamental forms of finishing in the printing industry. It can be performed by three methods: wet - using liquid glue, hot - by applying solid glue on the foil, and mixed - using liquid glue heated to the desired temperature.
Cardboard and coated papers are the most suitable substrates for this process. Film coating serves mostly to highlight the print, enhance the substrate's durability and improve its optical properties. It may also provide protection against external factors such as water, moisture or fat. Coating the print with foil improves its mechanical properties, mainly by increasing its abrasion resistance. The foil can be glossy or matte. Both types are used for all kinds of job-prints or book covers
Multifol uses both hot and wet technologies Wet coating allows us to use special foils, such as:
Thickness: 24 micron Description: shiny film made of biaxially oriented polypropylene, BOPP. The foil is used primarily in the process of laminating sheets of paper and cardboard, so that the finish layer is glossy and transparent. The gloss is 90%.
Thickness: 24 micron Description: matte film made of biaxially oriented polypropylene, BOPP. The foil is used primarily in the process of laminating sheets of paper and cardboard, so that the finish layer is matte. The gloss is 10%
The company offers simultaneous double-sided film coating services. Coating both sides of the sheets at the same time not only improves efficiency and helps shorten the order delivery time but, above all, minimises losses generated when the sides are coated separately.
This method eliminates faults resulting from one-sided lamination, such as the tendency to curl, sheet feeding issues, crushing, etc. Double-sided film coating is especially important in coating low-density, large format (B1/A1) sheets. Simultaneous double-sided film coating is especially recommended for laminating maps, charts, wall calendars, health and safety instructions and others.
Foiling is the application of a thin film on a surface. It is one of the basic forms of processing in the printing industry. Multifol also offers foiling sheets with cut out windows. This service is a modern, prominent method of processing, more and more appreciated by a wide range of demanding customers.
Laminating the windows will certainly make your product stand out in a competitive market of packaging, ensuring the effect of desire for the product which is right at your fingertips - behind a "window". In addition, the process performed by us will protect the product and the applied film is suitable for contact with food. Foiling the windows also provides the highest quality gloss, attracting the eye of the potential customer. Laminated windows offered by Multifol company is also an economic and efficient alternative in production to gluing in the windows. The technology used by us ensures many times faster production in comparison to traditional gluing in the windows, because it is not done with individual boxes, but with an entire sheet, thus 8-12 boxes are being laminated at a time.
An interesting solution is also the lamination of an internal unprinted side of the packaging. It is thus possible to use transparent PET film. It is characterized by a very high gloss, resistance to scratching, ease of gluing and hot-pressing and it is an excellent barrier to grease, odors etc. With the application of such a solution, the product located inside the packaging is well protected and attractively displayed.

We use metallised polyester films in silver, gold and diffraction finish, that can be printed on offset machines. These papers are used to manufacture packaging for the cosmetic industry, alcohol industry and for highly processed advertising.
Our sheet laminating line is equipped with the most advanced post-lamination sheet separating system utilising a "hot knife", which automatically separates any kind of film, regardless of its structure and hardness. The hot knife burns through the film across its entire width just by touching it, thus separating the sheets.

Application:
Jakość foliowania zależy od jakości druku. Dlatego konieczna jest ścisła współpraca pomiędzy drukarnią a zakładem uszlachetniania już na etapie planowania, by można było uzyskać produkt najwyższej jakości.
Nawet najbardziej zaawansowana technologia nie pomoże, jeśli użyto niewłaściwych materiałów.
Przydatność farb drukarskich do laminowania:
Dodatki drukarskie
Podłoża. Do laminowania można używać wszystkich rodzajów papieru i kartonu, możliwe jest jednak zwijanie się podłoża o niskiej gramaturze.
Naddatek materiału (nadmiarowe arkusze do przeprowadzenia testów). W każdym przypadku należy zapewnić pewną ilość zadrukowanych arkuszy do foliowania próbnego. Ilość ta powinna powinna być starannie dobrana do rodzaju i wielkości pracy. Planowanie produkcji Czas wykonania foliowania zależy od planu produkcji, indywidualnego dobrania sposobu uszlachetniania w powiązaniu z planami obłożenia maszyn i zaopatrzenia w materiały - wszystko to musi być skoordynowane z dostawcą. Jest to szczególnie ważne w przypadku późniejszego tłoczenia - dobre rezultaty można osiągnąć jedynie wtedy, gdy zostawi się 1 dzień przerwy między laminowaniem a tłoczeniem. Dotyczy to również innych form dalszej obróbki zafoliowanej powierzchni.
