    This document provides troubleshooting tips for issues that may occur when using glueless lamination film. It lists 24 common problems such as white spots, weak bonding, curling, or delamination. For each problem, it describes the potential causes such as low pressure, temperature, or unsuitable materials. It then provides recommendations on how to address each issue, such as increasing pressure and temperature, adjusting the laminating conditions, or changing the film or adhesive type. The goal is to help users optimize the lamination process to achieve strong, consistent bonding without defects.

    Cause

    Recommendation

    Pressure too low or / and temperature Increase pressure and temperature until the
    low as well.
    Silvering effect is removed.

    Low pressure and low temperature.

    Adjust pressure and or temperature up until


    bond is improved

    Excess of Non-polar agent added to


    the ink

    Reduce non-polar agent docent

    Too much Spray powder or powder


    granules are too large

    Reduce amount of spray powder used

    Over high temperature setting of


    Heating Roller

    Adjust temperature down till bond is improved

    Polished paper / UV coated printed


    paper

    Unsuitable lamination material

    Uneven heating temperature of


    Heating Roller

    Change to oil-conducted heating type


    laminator

    Paper/ink additives/setup conditions


    not adapted

    Poor lamination bond caused by


    unsuitable processing conditions, or
    paper contained high humidity
    Over heating of film or the rubber
    covered pressing roll has become
    distorted by excess pressure

    Adjust the running conditions of the laminating


    machine to ensure correct running conditions.
    Evaluate the combination of paper and ink
    thickness and ink additives to ensure the
    conditions are correct for laminated product.

    Extreme over heating

    Operate the machine at the recommended


    temperature

    Lamination conditions not set correctly


    / punching equipment not setup
    Adjust laminating conditions and reset hole
    correctly
    punching equipment

    Seriously affected by high humidity/


    non-polar inks with poor ink drying
    conditions

    Strengthen pre-delivery inspection of


    lamination bond / Evaluate storage
    environment

    Film of one-side corona treatment /


    unfitted glue

    Change to two-side corona treated film /


    change glue type

    Increase film corona treat level / Drop down


    lam. Temp./ Retreat film side of laminated
    Film with low corona treatment level / product for enhanced corona treatment level /
    polishing ink not adapted
    Change UV inks

    Film with one side corona treatment

    Change to two-sided corona treatment film

    Film of one-side corona treatment /


    Cold adhesive glue not adapted

    Change to two-side corona treated film /


    Change cold adhesive glue type fitted for
    polypropylene film

    Use two side printed paper and


    printed side facing Heating Roller for
    pressing

    Lower down lamination temperature

    Ink layer too thick or not thoroughly


    dried

    Engage the preheating roll process and or


    adjust for even ink layer thickness, or slow
    down lamination speed with higher lamination
    temperature

    A known cause to this defect is this


    specific type of ink not properly dried
    or the ink contains too much reducer

    Ensure sufficient curing time, reinspection 24


    hours after lamination to ensure bond strength
    is stable.

    Wrap the rubber roller in release polyester film


    in the area where the window is in contact with
    Film functional layer stick to rubber
    the rubber roller to ensure the film does not
    covered press roll and cause the film frost/ Apply two steps back-side heat-ironing
    to frost or become hazy
    method of lamination.

    Too much Viscosity reducer or drying


    oil or other additives, usually
    contained in spot-color ink, causing
    fake bonding

    Advanced test shall be applied no less than


    one day/ high pressure and high temperature
    test to determine whether GL is applicable for
    this printed material

    When peeling alum. Foil off GLF,


    leaves on film surface release
    ingredients

    Only process foil stamping after lamination.


    Avoid high standard, foil-stamping pricess
    before lamination

    Printed material laminated with GLF is


    not so applicable for jet-printing, but it Adjusting the parameter of jet-printer, trial
    can be improved by adjusting the
    production shall be carried out before mass
    parameter of jet-printer
    production.

    The surface tension of Gloss GLF


    doesnt meet the ink adhesion
    requirement of jet-printing

    For Gloss GLF, corona re-treatment is


    suggested after lamination; For Matt GLF,
    lamination temperature under 100C
