Durability meets design

The benefits of Achilles lamination

Achilles lamination with specialty film is a process where a thin foil is permanently bonded to paper or cardboard using pressure and heat. The result is a premium printed product that looks and feels superior while withstanding everyday demands:

Strong and durable: High scratch resistance provides effective protection against external impacts.
Exclusive foil options: Matte, glossy, textured, or metallized finishes – including variants for indirect food contact.
Functional enhancement: Our films offer effective barriers against moisture, dirt, and wear.
Versatile applications: Ideal for brochures, flyers, books, covers, packaging, displays, menus, and more.

With in-house innovations like our scratch-resistant X-treme matte film or the soft-touch X-touch film, we deliver verified quality – proudly developed by Achilles.

Frequently asked Questions

A specialty laminating film is a thin plastic layer applied to printed materials such as paper or cardboard. It enhances appearance, improves durability, and protects against dirt, moisture, and physical wear.

Using a combination of pressure and heat, the foil is permanently fused with the substrate. This improves both visual and tactile appeal while adding a protective barrier.

Some of our “Achilles foils” are developed in-house and sold exclusively – including ultra-durable, scratch-resistant, or food-safe variants. Our technical expertise ensures custom, high-quality solutions for demanding applications.
