We can laminate to sheets with precision.
Adding a fabric, foam, or other material to a sheet of plastic corrugated, kraft corrugated, or any other substrate creates a custom material for your needs. At L-S Industries, we’re equipped to offer laminating to sheets for a wide range of applications and purposes.
We can laminate just about any material to any material, but what we have done for decades is:
- Laminating fabrics to corrugated plastic – Mainly used for automotive parts packaging, the fabric creates a non-scratch surface and the corrugated plastic is a lightweight material excellent for returnable packaging dunnage. These materials include Spunbond, Brushed Nylon, Evolon, Tyvek, and Crosslink Foam.
- Laminating foam to kraft corrugated – This option for laminating to sheets serves a similar purpose, but it’s ideal for disposable packaging since it’s a less expensive option.
- Roll over the edge on sheet lamination — We can fold the fabric over one edge so it rolls over what becomes the top edge of a partition set.
Purpose: Primarily for partition sets — buyers use 2 mm board or sheets, die cut, and fold over to get a smooth edge.
Benefit: Avoids “cuticle catchers” on plastic corrugation sets that can injure when reaching over.
Strength: Folding 2 mm board makes 4 mm strength, but rolling over the edge of 4 mm gives the same benefit without doubling material.
Requires a specific die-cut method to allow the edge to stay rolled over.
Laminating to sheets can be useful for a wide variety of applications, as fabrics or films to cover sheets can be either decorative or functional. For more information about our laminating capabilities or to discuss possibilities, reach out to us today.
