High-performance lamination: We build regulatory compliance and durability into print materials for transit and demanding environments.
Specialist Laminate Systems
Lamination is more than adding surface protection. G3S combines specialised films, targeted adhesive chemistry, and precise thermal control to create custom laminate constructions built for high-regulatory and demanding environments.
Capabilities: Hot- and cold-lamination processes, specialised matte, gloss, or anti-scratch finishes, and high-quality EVA heat-activated adhesive bonding.
Built for Demanding Environments
Many G3S laminate systems are built for environments where durability, regulatory compliance, and long-term performance are non-negotiable—including public transport, commercial graphics, and specialised industrial settings.
Capabilities: Proven compliance, durability, anti-marring surfaces, and high bond strength across complex graphics and demanding substrates.
Matching Film to Performance
Every G3S laminate begins with selecting the ideal base film, adhesive weight, and surface finish. We draw on high-performance polyester and BOPP films to deliver the exact rigidity, clarity, and bond strength required for your application.
Capabilities: Polyester and BOPP films, robust 20 to 300 micron constructions, and custom material-matched EVA bonding layers.
Lamination for Rail & Transit Graphics
When regulatory compliance and field performance are non-negotiable, lamination ceases to be a finishing process and becomes a purpose-built solution.
Capabilities Rooted in Materials Science: G3S develops specialised, high-compliance laminated constructions designed to eliminate delamination, edge peeling, and environmental degradation under demanding conditions. By matching advanced polymer films and thermal EVA adhesives directly to underlying print chemistries, we ensure your finished rail graphics and transit signage meet strict regulatory standards for fire, smoke, and toxicity—delivering the durability and compliance required for deep-level underground stations, vehicle interiors, and public infrastructure networks.
Lamination Processes
Hot (thermal) and cold lamination.
Flawless Bond Activation: Matching thermal or pressure-sensitive processes to ensure maximum optical clarity and prevent ink degradation.
Working Widths
Web widths from 100 mm up to 1100 mm.
Versatile Scaling: Accommodate everything from narrow-web component labels to wide-format industrial graphics and transit signage.
Film Construction
BOPP and Polyester (PET) base films.
Targeted Barrier Defence: Select the exact polymer base your application needs—whether it’s the flexibility and economy of BOPP or the structural shield of Polyester.
Film Thickness
From 20 to 300 microns.
Flexible to Rigid: Tailor the structural feel and armour of your product, balancing lightweight flexibility with ultra-tough, high-micron impact protection.
Surface Finishes
Gloss, Matt, and Anti-Scratch options.
Maintains Brand & Readability: Anti-scratch finishes preserve legibility and aesthetic integrity in high-traffic public areas prone to scuffs and vandalism.
Double-Sided Lamination
Double-sided simultaneous heat-activated thermal lamination (up to 500 mm wide).
Perfect Flatness, Zero Curl: Sealing both sides simultaneously balances web tension, completely eliminating the material curl common with single-sided passes.
Inline Finishing
Optional automated in-line sheeting and guillotining capabilities.
Streamlined Logistics: Delivers finished flat-sheet products straight off the line, eliminating secondary off-line trimming steps and shortening lead times.
Adhesive Systems
Multiple specialised, high-quality combinations of EVA thermal adhesive.
Zero Edge-Peel or Delamination: We match the chemical properties of the EVA adhesive directly to your substrate, ensuring a permanent bond that won’t fail over time.
Typical Applications
Rail and transit graphics, protective overlays, heavy-use display graphics, and encapsulated industrial sheets.
Field-Proven Reliability: Your materials are backed by manufacturing capabilities explicitly geared for high-risk, high-wear infrastructure environments.
Quality Management
ISO 9001:2015: Continuous improvement operational framework backed by certified quality management systems.
Consistency: ISO-certified processes deliver batch-to-batch repeatability, full material traceability, and continuous quality audits across every production run.
