Extra Protection for Your Labels: Film Lamination
Your labels deserve maximum durability and exceptionally high quality! Film lamination increases the robustness of your labels, protects them from abrasion and makes them more durable. Film lamination is particularly recommended for products that are handled frequently. The dirt- and moisture-repellent film, available in matt or glossy, is often used in the cosmetics, chemical and beverage industries. Laminating also gives your products a special quality, thereby enhancing their advertising impact. But it’s not just the look of your labels that is positively influenced – their feel is too.
Film lamination emphasises the high quality of your product and provides extra protection. Select the appropriate parameters such as size, material and film lamination in the online calculator. Then specify further order details and upload the print data.
What Is Film Lamination?
When applying a film lamination, printed materials such as paper or film are covered with a plastic film. At label.co.uk, film laminations are applied to the label using a process called wet lamination. This means that our film lamination is not self-adhesive but is applied to the labels with liquid adhesive. The use of pressure, UV light and adhesive bonds the matt or glossy film to the label.
The film should also be selected to match the material: glossy film is ideal for glossy materials. If you choose a matt material, we recommend a matt film.

Film Lamination or Protective Varnish?
Your label deserves extra protection! You can choose between film lamination and protective varnish.
As an alternative to our film lamination, which protects against abrasion, oil and moisture, and makes your labels more robust, we offer matt or glossy protective varnish. Our protective varnish provides more protection against simple abrasion. When applying the protective varnish, a liquid varnish is first applied to the surface of your labels, which then dries. We generally recommend protective varnish. For special requirements and irritations, film lamination is more suitable than protective varnish. Because metallic labels are more susceptible to abrasion, they should always be laminated.
Book our proofing service to check out both protective finishes. If you decide to go with a proof print, we’ll produce a small batch of labels with film lamination under original printing conditions. This way, you can make sure the result is exactly what you want.
Special Features of Film Lamination
Please note that protective varnish is compatible with our finishes such as blind embossing or relief embossing – however, film lamination cannot be applied on top of the embossing finishes mentioned before.
In addition, labels with protective varnish can be printed retrospectively in a thermal transfer printer, whereas film lamination is not suitable for this type of printing.

Materials & Adhesives for Labels with Film Lamination
Our online calculator offers you a range of materials to choose from. Most coated materials are suitable for film lamination – natural papers or textured papers are not suitable. In addition to paper labels, film labels can also be given this special lamination. We also offer a range of sustainable solutions for your labels with extra protection.
Depending on where your film-laminated labels will be used, you will of course need the right adhesive. We offer labels with permanent adhesive, removable labels and freezer labels, among other things. If you would like to test the materials and adhesive strength for your film-laminated labels in advance, we recommend requesting our free sample book as a first step.

Embellished Labels with label.co.uk: Your Options
If you choose labels with film lamination, additional finishing options are available. As already explained, film lamination and protective varnish are finishes with protective qualities. There are also other decorative, traditional finishes: hot foil stamping, blind embossing and relief embossing. However, only hot foil stamping can be combined with film lamination.
An overview of our finishes? You can find more information on our overview page.
Digital Finishing
Labels with digital spot varnish can also be laminated. This spot varnish is a transparent varnish that is applied to specific areas of the label to highlight certain elements. The finish is applied without an embossing tool and is therefore not considered a traditional finish.
Production, Shipping & Further Processing
Printing labels with film lamination can be time-consuming. But it doesn’t have to be! At label.co.uk, the production time and delivery period are displayed directly in the online calculator. In certain cases, you can select express production, which means you will receive your labels with extra protection even faster. Please note that the production time may be delayed due to incorrect print data or the production of embossing tools, for example. We also offer various shipping options.
After production and delivery of your film-laminated labels, automatic, semi-automatic or manual labelling takes place. Please note that you must specify the correct winding direction in the ordering process for film-laminated roll labels to ensure successful labelling later on.
