AC Converting laminates a wide range of materials that medical products suppliers convert into finished goods such as gowns and table covers. Our ability to produce laminations that meet AAMI (Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation) barrier standards from level 1 through level 4 simplifies your sourcing efforts and delivers product consistency.
AAMI levels indicate the level of protection a material provides from bloodborne pathogens and other bodily fluids, with higher numbers providing greater levels of protection. We specialize in the production of spunbond meltblown spunbond (commonly referred to as SMS) non-woven fabric tri-laminates that meet specific AAMI levels.
Our wide web machine is capable of producing laminations up to 124 inches, with windup diameters up to 59 inches.
AC Converting fulfills lamination orders that feature heavier-grade materials used in industrial applications. Our ability to deliver high-quality laminates using non-woven, woven or film substrates provides converters with the precise product specifications they need.
Industrial laminations covers a wide range of products such as:
- Construction materials
- Environmental isolation covers
- Filtration media and other protective barriers
- Pressure-sensitive applications
Our wide web capabilities can produce industrial laminations up to 124 inches, with windup diameters up to 59 inches.
Consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies have a wide range of needs for laminated materials. AC Converting has the flexibility to deliver high-quality laminations that CPGs use in their processes to create an optimal customer experience.
We execute pressure-sensitive adhesive applications that deliver the performance characteristics you expect, with web widths ranging from 40 inches to 124 inches.
The process of bonding plastic film, such as polypropylene, to paper creates a protective layer that is durable as well as attractive. We have the capability of providing either cold glue or hot-melt adhesive laminations.
This process delivers unique packaging options by combining the appearance of metalized film and the printability of paper. Metalized film to paper lamination is a common technique for gift boxes, folding cartons and other packages in which visual appeal is a priority or improved thermal performance properties are desired.
Laminating poly material to kraft paper provides additional strength for applications that require increased durability. The result of this process is a product that is more resistant to tearing than what already is a strong substrate in kraft paper.
Aluminum often is the metal of choice when it comes to producing metalized film to kraft lamination products. The visual appeal of metal adds to the enhanced barrier properties of lamination for a premium packaging result. Metalized film to kraft lamination are popular in decorative applications such as gift wrap, as well as functional purposes such as radiant barriers and insulation for construction projects and HVAC systems.
