Types of Lamination
Our Satin lamination is the standard we use. It is a total of 8 mil thick. It has a satin finish to reduce glare. Our Gloss lamination comes in various thicknesses. Normally, 10
mil is a desired thickness. We can go to 15 or even 20 mil. Gloss lamination
gives your print the best color that pops off of the page. Our Matte lamination comes in 8 mil thickness. This provides you
with a non-glare surface. It is more expensive than Satin or Gloss but
is perfect for situations where glare cannot be tolerated. Cold Laminate - For prints that have heavy ink coverage, we recommend
cold laminate. This works very much like household tape - it's very sticky!
In many situations, regular hot lamination will not adhere well to ink-heavy
prints. Cold laminate overcomes these problems and has a non-glare finish
as well. Vehicle Wraps are laminated in this way. Adhesive backing - for those applications that require mounting,
our Pressure Sensitive / Adhesive backed laminate gives you a smooth mount
compared to spray mounting originals. This laminate can be used with a
Satin, Gloss or Matte front. Lexjet - This is our highest quality laminate. It's surface is
textured to give the prints a great look. This is a cold laminate which
will adhere to virtually all prints. The prints come out vibrant but without
any glare problems. It is extra rigid - 20 mil and unrolls flat every
time. Floorgard - This laminate is similar to Lexjet but used for floor applications. Imagine advertising your message on the floor! It has an extra heavy duty surface, able to withstand high foot traffic.
