Described herein is a method of making a flexible packaging material (6). The method can comprise the following steps: providing a substrate (1) having a first surface (1a) and a second surface (1b), the first surface (1a) having an electrostatic ink composition (4) printed thereon; providing a sealant layer (3) on the second surface (1b) of the base material (1); providing a flexible substrate (4) on which a thermally activatable laminating layer (5) has been deposited; and contacting under heat and/or pressure a thermally activatable laminating layer (5) arranged on the flexible substrate (4) with the first surface (1a) of the base material (1) on which the electrostatic ink composition (4) is printed. |
