LAMINATION

Lamination & Mounting usually goes hand in hand with large format printing. Since most papers are delicate and not waterproof (We offer waterproof papers as well as standard papers), lamination is a great way to finish your project. We offer mainly three Online Printing Machins of lamination: Gloss, Matte, and Luster. Gloss lamination and matte lamination are applied with a heated laminator. This is the most common type of lamination, mainly because of its high quality and low price. Lexjet lamination is the option we offer. It is a very durable, non glare, scratch resistant, protective coating that is mainly used for trade shows.
We are capable of laminating up to 60” wide. For gloss and matte lamination, we use 5mil lamination front and back with encapsulation, to prevent pealing. When using our Lexjet lamination in conjunction with a special backer, it yields a 20mil product that can withstand the abuse that most trade show events dish out.
