Method for laminating a profiled fibre moulding

1. A method for laminating a profiled fibre moulding for packaging elements with a thermoplastic film using a heating device and a moulding tool, wherein the film is laminated to a surface of the fibre moulding to be coated by heat and differential pressure, the method comprising the following steps:

fixing at least an edge of the fed film to a base plate,

heating the film,

plastically deforming the film only using the positive moulding tool so that the film adjusts to a profiled shape of an end of the moulding tool,

providing the fibre moulding in a die,

moving the die onto the positive moulding tool,

applying the fibre moulding in the die to the film on the positive moulding tool,

joining the fibre moulding to the pre-formed film to form a laminated fibre moulding, and

removing the laminated fibre moulding from the die.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the film is fixed to the base plate by a vacuum.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the film is mechanically fixed to the base plate.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the film is heated by infrared radiation.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the film is heated by hot air.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the film is heated by a heater in the moulding tool.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the fibre moulding is heated before lamination.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a vacuum is adapted to be applied to the moulding tool.
