Lamination puts a hard, scratch-resistant surface on printed graphics.
But does your project need it?
Make it last
The most common use for lamination is to protect graphics that will be used outdoors. Lamination inhibits the damage from UV rays and provides durability. But you should also consider lamination graphics that need to have a life span of a year or longer or are situated in high traffic locations such as stairwells and hallways.
Make it shiny
Lamination’s beautiful smooth surface adds a glossy finish to a job. Use it selectively to accent parts of your art or create a wet-look.
Make it vandal-proof
Paint and ink won’t stick to the smooth, slick surface of lamination. Apply this anti-graffiti coating and get extra protection against vandalism.
Make it strong
In addition, laminates add body and thickness to your output. This is helpful when printing on thin materials that can stretch. The extra layer lamination provides will keep the graphic stable and aid in the installation process.
