A B Graphic International (ABG) has launched ThermoLam, a thermal laminating system for flexible packaging, ahead of its showcase at interpack 2026 in Düsseldorf.
The new system forms part of ABG’s expanding FlexPack portfolio and will be demonstrated in a live production workflow in partnership with Galaxy Packtech, combining lamination, pouch-making and digital embellishment technologies.
ThermoLam operates without VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions, offering an alternative to conventional solvent-based lamination processes. The system integrates pre-heating, cooling, corona treatment and slitting within a single compact platform.
The laminator runs at mechanical speeds of up to 120 metres per minute and does not require curing time, supporting shorter production cycles and improved operational efficiency. Additional features include front-loading roll access, reduced machine footprint and rapid job changeovers, enabling converters to manage shorter runs and changing production requirements.
The system also incorporates Beckhoff servo control technology and inline cutting to maintain process precision and streamline workflow.
ThermoLam is designed to integrate with ABG’s wider FlexPack ecosystem, including Galaxy pouch-making systems and PouchJet digital embellishment technology, supporting a connected production environment.
Matt Burton, Global Sales Director at ABG, said:
“Our partnership with Galaxy allows us to bring together pouch making, lamination and digital embellishment within a connected production workflow, giving customers the ability to experience a complete end-to-end solution.”
ABG is also strengthening its FlexPack capabilities through its Girona facility in Spain, which is being developed as a Centre of Excellence for flexible packaging, enabling customer trials and application testing within a full production setup.
