Lamination

In printing, lamination finish refers to the process of applying a thin layer of plastic film, known as laminate, onto the surface of printed materials to enhance their appearance, durability, and protection. The laminate is adhered to the printed surface using heat and pressure, creating a sealed, transparent, and glossy or matte finish, depending on the type of laminate used. Lamination is commonly used to protect printed materials from wear and tear, water damage, and fading, as well as to give them a professional and polished appearance.

Overall, lamination is an effective way to improve the quality and lifespan of printed materials while elevating their visual impact. It is a popular finishing option for a wide range of printing applications, especially those that require enhanced durability and a professional appearance.

As a trade printing specialist, we take each step of any printing project very seriously. The process of creating lamination finish involves the following steps:

Printing: The artwork or design is printed using the chosen printing method, such as offset printing, digital printing, or screen printing. The design is transferred onto the paper or other printing material.
Selection of Laminate: There are two main types of laminate finishes: gloss and matte. Gloss laminate provides a shiny and reflective surface, enhancing the vibrancy of colors and images. Matte laminate, on the other hand, offers a non-reflective and smooth finish, providing a softer appearance.
Lamination Application: The printed material is fed into a lamination machine, which consists of rollers and heating elements. The laminate film is positioned over the printed material, and the machine applies heat and pressure to bond the laminate with the printed surface.
Cooling and Trimming: After lamination, the material is allowed to cool, setting the laminate. Any excess laminate is trimmed off, resulting in a neatly sealed and finished product.
