Laminate Finishing
Lamination is the essential final step for any print project destined for frequent handling or high-visibility display.
Functional Benefits of Lamination
Lamination isn’t just about looking premium, it’s a shield. In high-traffic commercial environments, unlaminated paper deteriorates rapidly under moisture, friction, and sunlight.
Scuff & Fingerprint Protection
Stop edges from fraying and prevent heavy dark inks from scratching or showing fingerprints during handling.
Wipe-Clean Surfaces
Perfect for items that need to be wiped down clean daily, such as restaurant and bar menus.
Crack-Free Folding
Applying laminate to heavy card stocks before folding creates clean, razor-sharp spines without the unsightly fibre cracking common on unlaminated paper.
Added Weight & Rigidity
Instantly adds structural substance and thick weight to posters, covers, and structural point-of-sale displays.
