Laminage

I am working on a text about a company providing adhesive tech solutions (such as laser cutting). One area they work in is lamination, which they describe as:
"Le complexage également connu sous le nom d’adhésivage, est un procédé qui permet d'assembler au moins deux supports entre eux."
I have found "complexage" in a different Trados question, with the answer given as "lamination".
However, the text also lists "laminage" - does anyone know how to translate this? I have found some sources translating it as "lamination" too, or "rolling", but I am not sure that fits in this context.
Can anyone confirm how to translate "laminage" and the difference with "complexage"?
Here are examples of "laminage" and "complexage" being used in the text for context:
- Laminage de compresses absorbantes pour la fabrication de tests de grossesse
- Complexage de supports micro fluides pour la fabrication de diagnostics de diabète
- Laminage et assemblage de supports adhésifs conducteurs pour le transport de l'énergie
- Laminage et complexage de supports étiquettes avant impression
Many thanks for your help!

lamination
When 'laminage' is not the production, by rolling, of a single layer of steel, say, -
"le laminage est un procédé de fabrication par déformation physique employé pour le traitement de l'acier mais aussi du papier et des pâtes alimentaires." -
it is production of a laminate composed of several layers of material. It may be multiple layers of the same material, or layers of at least two different materials, in which case it is called 'complexage' or 'composite lamination'. 'Laminage/lamination (in French)' can also be application of a layer of adhesive to a layer of paper, plastic, etc. (for labels, etc.). This is not to be confused with 'adhésivage' which is in fact a synonym for 'complexage', being so named because the materials comprising a composite laminate are joined together by an adhesive.
"Plastics laminating is a process where two or more layers of material are put together to create multi-layered plastic sheet. Laminating improves the physical properties of a plastic sheet, such as the impact strength, stability, and sound insulation."
"Le complexage également connu sous le nom d’adhésivage, est un procédé qui permet d'assembler au moins deux supports entre eux. Les avantages du complexage sont nombreux, le principal étant d’ajouter de nouvelles propriétés au support d’origine. Cette combinaison de matières permet ainsi d’obtenir un produit avec des propriétés uniques."
"L'opération de complexage permet d'obtenir un produit unique présentant les avantages de deux matières combinées"

Note from asker:
Thank you for this thorough response. It is very helpful. So if I have understood correctly, in this context, 'laminage' should be translated as 'lamination', whereas 'complexage' (or adhésivage') involves layers of at least two different materials, and should be translated as 'composite lamination'. Thank you! |

Some desultory searching suggests "glueing/gluing/bonding of microfluidic supports" might be the sort of solution for complexage.
