Solventless Laminating
Kendall is committed to delivering solventless laminated structures that will perform flawlessly on your equipment while providing product protection and packaging functionality you need.
If printing and graphics give flexible packaging its beauty, lamination gives it its brawn. This is the step where the real science of flexible packaging happens, bonding multiple films together so each layer used contributes a specific job: strength, moisture or oxygen barrier, printability, and performance.
The result is a single structure that performs far beyond what any one film could do on its own. Lamination is where packaging stops being just a printed surface and becomes an engineered system built to keep your product safe, fresh, and intact from our dock to your customer’s shelf.
Modern lamination requirements can be extremely diverse and challenging for flexible packaging needs. As a leading supplier of laminated structures, including solventless laminating, Kendall has positioned itself to meet these challenges. With years of laminating experience utilizing solvent-based and solventless adhesives, our packaging engineers have the right solution for your product packaging.
Choosing solventless adhesives over solvent-based alternatives also means there’s no solvent residue to migrate into your product, an important consideration for food contact applications where taste and purity matter. Because the process eliminates volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and the energy-intensive drying ovens solvent-based lamination requires, it’s also a meaningfully more sustainable choice, supporting both regulatory compliance and the environmental goals more brand owners are being asked to report on.
Additional properties can be built into Kendall’s laminated structures to enhance the package, such as easy-opening features, including straight-line tear and peelable sealant technology.
