Lamination Capabilities
Lamination is generally achieved by applying heat to the PSA before permanently bonding the two substrates together. At Rathbun, we are capable of hot/cold lamination up to 60” in width. We work with you from start to finish during your lamination services and can produce first articles, assist in prototype development, and more.Industrial Lamination for Pressure Sensitive Adhesives & Other Materials
Rathbun is dedicated to providing your complete satisfaction through our advanced and accurate lamination services. To meet any requirement in every order, we laminate a wide range of PSAs to many materials: We understand how to cut an extensive range of materials. It is common for Rathbun to cut customer-supplied material in prototype development and full-scale production volumes.Converting Services Commonly Paired with Lamination
Lamination services are often paired with other converting capabilities to produce high-performing results that meet specifications. These services include:- Rotary Cutting. Lamination is achieved as an inline setup during the manufacturing of rotary cut parts used in many industries, including medical and healthcare, aerospace, military, and more.
- Die Cutting. As with rotary cutting, lamination is incorporated into die cutting before cutting occurs through an inline hot/cold process.
- Slitting and Rewinding. Lamination services are constrained by the size of the material. Slitting and rewinding processes provide an ideal converting alternative for larger substrates.

Lamination FAQs
What types of lamination do you offer?
Rathbun offers hot and cold lamination for pressure-sensitive adhesives, foams, tapes, and other flexible materials, with lamination widths up to 60".What materials can be laminated together?
Compatibility comes down to substrate type, adhesive chemistry, thickness, surface finish, and the performance the final part needs to deliver. Common constructions include PSA-to-foam, PSA-to-film, adhesive transfer tapes, bonding tapes, and polyurethane foam paired with other flexible materials. Send us your substrates, and we'll confirm what pairs well.Why laminate materials rather than use a single substrate?
A single material rarely provides all the properties a part needs. Lamination combines performance characteristics, such as cushioning, bonding, barrier protection, vibration damping, thermal control, insulation, or surface protection, into one construction. This lets you meet application-specific requirements without over-engineering a single substrate to do it all.What industries use laminated materials from Rathbun?
We support medical and healthcare, aerospace, and military applications, as well as electronics and other industrial sectors. Examples include:- PSA-backed gaskets
- Medical device materials
- Aerospace and military components
- Electronics insulation
- Thermal management materials
- Damping parts and protective films
Can you die cut or slit materials after lamination?
Yes, and it's a common next step. Lamination is often built inline with rotary die cutting, die cutting, and slitting, and rewinding, so materials move from raw substrates to finished parts, rolls, or packaged components in the same workflow. That makes Rathbun a turnkey partner for projects that need both lamination and converting under one roof.
