The process uses pressure and/or heat to attach paper or card to a thin plastic film. This effect dramatically increases durability against the elements and even eliminates cracking on the material, as it provides additional support to heavily inked folded collateral such as leaflets and booklets. It is also tear, stain and water-resistant and helps to prevent sun damage.

You can opt for different types of lamination depending on the desired look and feel of your product:

GLOSS LAMINATION
This is a popular finishing option for many as colours, text and images often appear sharper and more vibrant. It is durable and repels dirt, dust and fingerprints.

MATT LAMINATION
Whilst providing an elegant finish, matt lamination gives a softer, more natural look as it produces lower contrast on darker colours. The finish also provides a velvety texture which enhances the handling experience for your audience.

SILK LAMINATION
Silk lamination is viewed as the more premium lamination option as it has a much softer texture and is of a higher quality. It gives off a smooth and natural-looking effect and is mostly used for business cards, brochures and book covers.

SOFT TOUCH LAMINATION
Transform the look and feel of your print with different lamination techniques. For a durable, luxurious, velvety feel, soft touch lamination is the perfect choice. This finish is naturally more scuff and fingerprint-resistant than other forms of lamination which is fundamental if your piece is helping to promote a deluxe item or service.
