So Many Material Choices…Let ATL Help
We work in partnership with leading raw material suppliers to assist customers in selecting the best materials that meet their application specifications and expectations. Choosing the right combination of materials is essential for both the manufacture and performance of the product.
At ATL, we print and convert paper, plastic films, foams, foils, tapes, and specialty materials with a broad range of physical properties that cover many custom product applications. Over the years, we have developed a deep understanding of how substrates, adhesives, inks, and other materials interact during printing and converting processes. Materials can be used in single-layer or multi-layer laminations with pressure sensitive adhesives applied to one or both sides.
