Laminating Before Custom Die Cutting

Laminating is the process of applying an additional layer to materials before or after the die-cutting process. Typically, Thrust Industries uses the laminating process to apply an adhesive to a substrate material, such as plastic film, rubber, or foam before die, laser, or waterjet cutting the component from that material. An adhesive, PSA or tape, can be added to one side or both sides of a material, with secondary liners where needed.

Our laminated materials are often used in industries like packaging, electronics, automotive, and signage, where precision, durability, and aesthetic appeal are important. The combination of laminating and die-cutting allows for the creation of high-quality, customized components that look great, meet industry standards, and perform reliably in any environment.
