Abstract: A process for manufacturing a packaging material having at least two films (14) or foils (12) bonded together to a multi-layer laminate (10) via at least one adhesive layer (13) is such that the adhesive layers are of an electron-beam-curable adhesive and the laminate is radiated with electrons to cure the adhesive. The laminate is particularly suitable for manufacturing containers, in particular such for packaging foodstuffs for humans and animals. The laminate production using electron-beam-curable adhesive results in a significant reduction in throughput time and to a reduction in solvent emissions when substituting an electron-beam-curable adhesive for a solvent-based adhesive.
