Protective Film for Metals
Pregis offers the first domestic portfolio of universal laser film solutions, which offer metal service centers and fabricators cost-competitive, reliable protection. And our applications don’t stop there. Pregis has low-density films that can be cut, punched, and bended easily while still adhering to the protected surface. Our proprietary “A” film has superior puncture and abrasion resistance for roll forming operations. In addition, we have films that can handle high heat and are UV resistant for extended outdoor use with no adhesive transfer. Our solutions work on many different metals, such as steel, aluminum, pre-painted sheets, pre-coated sheets, uncoated sheets, and corrugated sheets. Choosing the proper temporary protective film ensures that polished metal surfaces are protected throughout fabrication, storage, assembly, and shipment.

The First Domestic Portfolio of Universal Laser Film Solutions
Our strippable laser films are expertly designed to reduce your total cost of ownership within your laser cutting and metal fabrication operations. A typical fiber laser concentrates 3-4 kW of energy to an area smaller than a human hair. This equates to a power density 100x that of the sun. Without surface protection, laser cutting can cause significant collateral damage to aluminum and stainless steel, translating to costly rework, or worse, material scrap. On top of these added expenses, damages contribute to operational downtime, ultimately reducing your ability to get product out the door to critical customers.
The Perfect Balance of Performance
Our high-quality solvent adhesive chemistries and durable films lead the market in laser cut quality and cleanliness.
- Strong tack to ensure ease of application
- Unparalleled adhesive strength keeps film firmly in place – without blow-ups
- Effortless removability, free of ghosting or adhesive transfer
- Versatile downstream protection, from bending/forming to shipping and storage

Steel Service Centers & Uncoated Metals
Anodized and stainless metals face many fabricating, finishing, handling, and shipping processes. Those environments put that milled, bright, brushed finish at risk from scratches, damage, or contamination. The performance of our protective films allows you to do almost anything to metal – except damage it. Suppose you’re a fabricator or metal service center. In that case, you can count on our protective film solutions to ensure your metal emerges from bending, drilling, stamping, shearing, and assembly processes without damage. We have a portfolio of products to protect many applications in this industry.
