Paper & Board Lamination
A protective, refined skin for carton board and covers — so your packaging survives converting and still looks the part on shelf.
What is paper & board lamination?
Paper and board lamination bonds a film across sheets and carton board to protect the print and give it a consistent, professional surface. It does more than look good: it strengthens the substrate, improves durability through handling, and prepares board for the die-cutting, folding and gluing still to come.
For folding cartons, rigid covers and heavier packaging board, the right lamination keeps colours sharp and edges clean all the way through production — so the piece that reaches the shelf is as crisp as the one that came off the press.
Where it works best
Board lamination is where protection meets presentation. It's specified for:
- Folding carton board
- Hardcover and rigid covers
- Packaging and outer sleeves
- Catalogues and heavy leaflets
- Any board needing a durable, printable surface
Options to choose from
Matte board lamination
Refined, fingerprint-friendly surface.
Gloss board lamination
Vivid, protective shine for retail impact.
Single or double-sided
Protection where the job needs it.
The foundation for premium packaging
Lamination is usually the first finishing step on a carton, and it sets up everything that follows. A smooth, well-bonded laminate gives spot UV, drip-off and window lamination a clean, durable base to work on — and it protects the print through die-cutting, folding and gluing so the finished box arrives flawless.
Matte or gloss board?
Matte board lamination is fingerprint-friendly and reads as understated and premium — ideal under spot UV. Gloss board lamination adds vivid, protective shine for retail impact. Single- or double-sided, we match the film to your board weight and how the carton will be converted.

Matte board lamination is fingerprint-friendly and understated — and the best base for spot UV. Gloss adds vivid, protective shine for retail impact. We'll match the film to your board weight and end use.

Both. We apply single- or double-sided lamination depending on the durability and appearance your job needs.
