Flux losses in a transformer can be prevented by
- winding the primary on top of the secondary.
- the use of primary shielding.
- laminating the core.
Explanation from PART66Online
Flux (leakage) loss is reduced by tightening the magnetic coupling between windings, achieved by winding the primary directly over the secondary on the same limb so almost all flux links both. Laminating the core addresses eddy currents rather than leakage flux, and primary shielding does not improve coupling.

How about 'laminating the core' ?

That would reduce eddy current losses which are unavoidable by how it works, flux linkage losses are reduced by putting them closer less reluctance.
