The packaging industry in Indonesia is growing rapidly, especially in production cost efficiency. One
of the important stages is the lamination process, which is the incorporation of the printing film and
sealing film using adhesive. Solvent-free lamination technology emerged as an environmentally
friendly alternative because it does not use solvents. This study uses a quantitative method to
analyze the impact of technology change from solvent base to solvent free on cost efficiency. The
results showed that laminates with 15 micron Nylon and 85 micron LLDPE C8 still produced bonding
strength in accordance with industry standards. Solvent-free technology is more efficient because it
does not require a drying chamber, so energy consumption is lower. Although there is still a small
amount of solvent residue, it is still cleaner and more economical to use. Substitution to this
technology shows great potential in reducing production costs without compromising product quality.
Therefore, solvent free is an environmentally friendly and efficient solution for the flexible packaging
industry in Indonesia.
