Solvent Flex Printing Services:
Lamination is a technology that allows for improvement of both the mechanical and optical properties of prints by application of optically transparent polymer foil under high pressure to one or both sides of the printed substrate.
Lamination serves to improve the properties of the printed substrate listed below:
- Higher mechanical durability and toughness,
- Better appearance of the printed document,
- Higher resistance to abrasion, lower proclivity to corrosion from human skin,
- Higher resistance of the print to UV radiation,
- Impermeability against moisture.
- Laminated sheets are easily workable in technology operations such as dry lamination, punch cutting, spot coating, etc.
What is the best way to laminate?
The result of laminating is subject to several major factors which also affect one another:
- Laminating film,
- Glue layer,
- Laminating machine,
- Printed matter (printed material, ink type used, printing method),
- Single- or two-side lamination.
- Laminated sheets are easily workable in technology operations such as dry lamination, punch cutting, spot coating, etc.
