Whether you’re creating a new composite material for filtration, protective packaging, or a performance textile, custom lamination can be a game-changer. But to get fast quotes, realistic timelines, and materials that actually perform, it helps to come to the table with the right information.
At ANCI Composites, we work closely with partners in need of lamination and converting support—from small pilot runs to scaled production. Here’s what we recommend you know before reaching out.
- What Is Your Final Application?
Start with the end in mind. Are you producing a filter media? A moisture barrier? A packaging liner? The performance requirements of your final product will impact everything from adhesive selection to bonding temperature and line speed.
Why it matters:
Knowing your market (e.g., HVAC, medical, industrial) helps us recommend compatible films, nonwovens, and bonding processes.
- What Materials Are You Using (or Considering)?
If you have specific films, scrims, or substrates in mind—great. If not, we can help you select the right layers. But material thickness, surface energy, and heat resistance all impact lamination strategy.
Tip: Bring sample rolls, spec sheets, or even brand names of what you’re using today.
- Do You Know Your Bonding Requirements?
Will this need to hold up to heat, tension, water, or chemicals? Are you looking for peelable layers, permanent bonds, or something in between?
We offer a range of thermal and adhesive bonding methods, and our team can help select the right one. But clarity here speeds up testing and helps us avoid over- or under-engineering.
- What Widths, Yields, and Volumes Are You Targeting?
We can slit, laminate, and rewind to your exact spec—but it’s helpful to know:
- Desired roll widths (standard or custom)
- Material yield targets (square yards, grams/m², etc.)
- Initial volumes and projected scaling
Whether you need a pilot run or long-term production, ANCI Composites is built for flexibility.
- Any Certifications or Cleanroom Requirements?
Some applications—especially in medical or food-grade—may require ISO, traceability, or cleanroom-compatible handling. Let us know early so we can match the process to your needs.
