LAMINATOR

A wide variety of finishes are available based on product use. Polypropylene films are the most economical, but are not as abrasion-resistant as polyester films. Lay-flat films were designed specifically to negate the effect of curl caused by moisture absorbed by paper. Gluable and stampable polyester films enable surfaces to accept foil stamping and promote gluing operations. All of these films are available in gloss and delustered (matte) finish.

Most of the cost in film lamination is the film itself, therefore it is important to designate the exact coverage area required.
