Adhesive Lamination

Pressure Sensitive Adhesives to Meet Your Application Needs

Adhesive lamination is the process of applying several layers of adhesive to bond two or more materials. This is typically done by applying an adhesive to a substrate and then using pressure, heat, or both to ensure a strong, consistent bond. Rollers may be used to apply pressure, while heat can activate certain adhesives, helping eliminate gaps or weak points in the material. Effective adhesive lamination depends on managing tension and angles to maintain alignment and minimize defects such as air bubbles or surface irregularities.

This process provides flexibility in how materials are combined to better meet specific performance requirements. Adhesive lamination is often used to produce gaskets with improved sealing performance, create protective films that resist wear, or provide added durability to insulation materials. By selecting the right substrates and adhesives, it is possible to create custom materials tailored to the needs of the end application.

Rapid Die Cut’s digital platform automatically selects the correct adhesive based on your material and the substrate the part will adhere to. We offer a variety of adhesives ranging from single and double coated tapes, transfer tapes, and rubber-based adhesives as well as specialty lamination where dissimilar materials are bonded together.

Whether you need protective layering or multi-material combinations, our lamination services deliver superior results. We offer standard and hot lamination services, applying adhesives to different sides of materials and combining multiple layers for enhanced durability and functionality.
