Did you know?
Lamination is a plastic film which is applied to printed paper sheets. If separated it can be recycled but this is not widely available.
If you’re looking for a more sustainable, plastic-free way to make your print more robust, we would suggest choosing a heavier paper stock, or adding a protective paper jacket. Embossing also adds a luxury feel without plastic.
Lamination
If your print requires additional protection from wear, or added distinction, lamination is highly practical finish.
Water-resistant
The protective coat will resist water and humidity, particularly useful for outdoor use and restaurant menus.
Durable
Lamination is ideal for print that will be handled frequently or needs to last a long time, such as paper back book covers.
Hygienic
Often used for training manuals in healthcare clinics and hospitals, laminations can be wiped down with anti-bacterial sprays.
Luxury
Laminated print feels gloss and luxurious, perfect for premium packaging, property brochures, catalogues and prospectus printing.
