Ukufakela ifilimu ye-thermal lamination sisixhobo esiyimfihlo esongeza umnxeba wokuthungwa kunye nesitayela. Ayisiyo nje into ekhangayo, kodwa yongeza i-tactile ekhethekileyo kwizinto eziphathekayo.
I-EKO yasekwa e-Foshan ngo-2007, kodwa yaqala ukuphanda ifilimu yokushisa ukushisa ngo-1999. Njengomnye wabakhiqizi befilimu bokuqala be-BOPP be-thermal lamination kunye nabaphandi, siye sathatha inxaxheba ekusekweni umgangatho woshishino lwefilimu yangaphambili kwi-2008.
