It can also help provide a non-slip surface for floor graphics. The added durability from lamination means your materials can better withstand frequent use.
This translates to financial benefits as it saves money on reprinting. Printed posters gradually fade and wear out over time. This is generally not a problem but certainly can be especially when important documents must be displayed in potentially dangerous areas such as workshops.
Adding lamination to a print impacts the installation of a graphic or other document as it makes a print more rigid and durable. This makes it easier to apply to a flat surface where it will last for years without tearing apart.
Lamination does more than increase the durability of a print. A number of options are available that can actually enhance the appearance of your materials. For example, applying gloss laminates helps to improve the colour and contrast of a print.
A matt laminate is often used to increase the readability of text as it tends to soften the colour and the contrasts. It is commonly used to produce a paper-aluminum foil laminate that is widely used in flexible packaging Dry lamination: where the bonding agent, dissolved into a liquid water or a solvent , is applied to one of the webs, before being evaporated in the drying oven. The adhesive coated web is laminated to the other under strong pressure and using heated rollers, which improves the bond strength of the laminate Wax lamination: where the bonding agent is a wax or hot melt and is applied in a molten state onto one of the two substrates.
This process allows the production of paper-paper or paper-aluminum foil laminates that are widely used for the packaging of biscuits and bakery products Solventless lamination: where the adhesives used do not contain solvents. Solventless adhesive generally indicates a specific type of adhesive composed by two components reacting with each other and consequently not requiring drying.
The resulting laminated web is then rewound into a finished roll.
