A method and apparatus for vacuum coating of materials having a three-dimensional surface structure is disclosed that provides cooling, to prevent heat destruction of those materials during vacuum coating. The web is moved back and forth across the coating area, between rolls. A cooling film is rolled onto each roll with the web. As the web is unrolled, the film is unrolled and recooled before being rolled up again with the web.
