A method is provided for producing a primary laminate including a tabstock
in which a seal laminate including a foil layer and a top foam layer, a
tabstock and a plastic film stock are fed to a laminating station. At the
lamination station, a curtain of polymeric adhesive is extruded between
the plastics film stock and the top face of the primary substrate, which
is partly comprised of the top face of the tabstock and partly comprised
of the top foam layer of the seal laminate. Use of primary laminates
obtained by such a process to form seals for sealing a container, for
food or drink stored at low temperatures, is also described.
