Lamination

Optimized & Industry-ready Solutions

For All Your Complicated Needs

CGS also offers laminating services, it is the process of manufacturing multiple layer materials joined by using adhesives. CGS has multiple laminating machines to perform laminating services for a variety of film and adhesive tapes. The finished product gains improved strength, appearance or other properties. These material can then be further converted for ease of use, by die cutting, slitting or sheeting.

MATERIAL LAMINATING

At CGS, we specialize in precision material lamination for demanding industrial applications. Many of our products involve laminating two or more materials to enhance performance, simplify assembly, or meet specific end-use requirements. Whether you're creating custom adhesive tapes, multi-layer insulation, or specialty die-cut components, we can help engineer the right lamination for your needs.

A common application involves laminating pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) to films such as polyimide (Kapton®), PET, or PTFE to produce high-performance adhesive-backed materials. We also laminate multiple layers of film or foam to create thicker or reinforced versions, such as our 20 mil Kapton film—a durable alternative to Cirlex® used in electrical insulation.

Our team can accommodate a wide range of lamination combinations including:

  • Adhesive + Film + Liner

  • Foil + PSA

  • Tape + Release Liner

ZONED ADHESIVE LAMINATING

At CGS, we offer zoned lamination—a specialized technique that applies adhesive only to selected areas of a material, leaving the rest of the surface adhesive-free. This precision approach is ideal for applications where controlled adhesive placement is critical to performance, cleanliness, or assembly.

Zoned lamination can be achieved in two ways:

  • Pre-cut adhesive lamination – Pre-die-cut adhesive shapes are laminated onto a substrate, creating specific adhesive zones.

  • Adhesive removal – A continuous adhesive layer is applied first, then unwanted adhesive is pulled away from the non-bonding areas during a second converting step.

The result is a clean, partially adhesive-backed material that offers secure bonding where needed, while the non-adhesive zones prevent undesired adhesion, contamination, or interference with sensitive components..

Benefits of Lamination

Improved Performance & Durability

Laminated films combine multiple layers to enhance strength, flexibility, and resistance to moisture, heat, and chemicals—ideal for demanding environments.

Streamlined Assembly

Adhesive lamination simplifies the final product by integrating adhesive directly into the material—reducing the need for separate gluing steps and saving time in production.

Custom Material Properties

By layering different substrates (e.g., foam, film, foil, adhesive), you can tailor properties like insulation, cushioning, or conductivity to meet specific application needs.

Precision & Clean Conversions

Multilayer laminates enable clean die-cutting, kiss-cutting, and zone lamination, ensuring accuracy and reducing material waste during fabrication.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you laminate customer-supplied materials?

Yes, we can laminate both customer-supplied and sourced materials. Whether you provide your own substrates, adhesives, or liners, we’ll work with your material specs to ensure compatibility and performance. Our team can also assist with material selection if needed.

Lead times vary based on material availability, complexity, and order volume. Standard custom laminations typically take 5–10 business days, but we also offer rush options for urgent jobs. In-house converting capabilities help reduce turnaround time.

Absolutely. We offer prototypes and short runs for product development, testing, and validation. This is ideal for customers looking to verify performance before committing to full-scale production.

We specialize in zone lamination, where adhesive is applied only to specific areas of the material. Combined with die-cutting, we can create complex shapes and configurations tailored to your application—perfect for reducing waste and improving assembly efficiency.
