Seminars for Engineers
Lamination of Flexible Materials for Packaging
October 28-29, 2025 • Chicago, Illinois

Lamination of Flexible Materials for Packaging is designed to give engineers and others an understanding of lamination processes and the properties of the resultant laminates utilized in flexible packaging. Monolayer flexible materials often fall short in delivering the needed properties. Lamination is an important technique utilized to combine materials to assure that the finished packaging materials demonstrate properties needed for packaged products. This two day seminar covers various lamination technologies, process variables, testing procedures, upstream and downstream processes and troubleshooting techniques.
Concepts Covered:
- Wetting and its impact on adhesion
- Extrusion vs. adhesive lamination
- Rationale for lamination
- Bond testing
- Bond failure mechanisms
- Alternatives to lamination
