Films for Print
The printing industry is one of the most versatile sectors of all: whether packaging, labels, decor or technical applications, specialized films are needed everywhere that meet high demands for transparency, adhesion, temperature resistance and surface quality.
GOBA supplies technical films with specifically tailored properties for printing and post-processing operations.
GOBA Expertise in Printing Film Technology
GOBA has decades of experience with polyester and specialty films for printing processes. The materials are individually matched to the respective application, from thermally resistant to optically brilliant.
Typical properties:
- Thermal resistance: Stable even at high printing and lamination temperatures.
- Chemical resistance: Protection against moisture, solvents and environmental influences.
- Surface quality: Defined roughness or smoothness for optimal ink adhesion.
- Optical clarity: High transparency or mirror finish, depending on requirements.
- Mechanical stability: Dimensional accuracy and form retention even during roll processing.
Application Areas in the Printing Industry
GOBA films serve as carriers, protective elements or functional components in various production stages.
Material Expertise and Processing Quality
GOBA focuses on precision and defined surface parameters in film supply:
