Film Laminating

Automatic roll fed Film Laminating is a great way to protect a customer’s work for the long term. Paper stock is enclosed between two sheets of clear plastic which are heat sealed with adhesive to preserve and protect printed material. There are many benefits and options with Laminating such as:

• Available in Gloss and Matte finishes
• Easily cleanable surface – protects work
• Durable and waterproof

Superstick films formulated specifically for Digital Printing – higher adhesion for better quality and performance!

OPP films available (Dry Erase)

Specifications:

• Flush trim – for work that is multi-up on a sheet such as 10 up business cards. Work is submitted as full sheets, laminated and cut to finish size.
• Edge Seal – sheets with a border around the work, sheets are submitted cut to size, laminated, and an excess of film is cut around the paper to leave a border (pouch lamination look).
• Can auto feed sheets as wide as 25” and as small as 5 ½” x 8 ½ ”
