From adding a sturdy structure, increasing gloss, boosting colors, and dramatically increasing longevity, Lamination offers many benefits for your print design.
Perhaps you have memories from elementary school of a flimsy plastic coating on your teacher’s materials. This image of lamination is not only dated, but very limited. Modern lamination can be used for all kinds of effects and uses in print design.
Of course the most important benefit lamination offers is protection. Laminating a product keeps it safe from fingerprints, scratches, spills, and any many other hazards. Lamination’s hard plastic shell makes any print product safe for high traffic areas or around food and drink.
Other benefits of laminating include adding a layer of gloss to a project. This can make a design really pop. It adds vividness to a print’s colors. Also, since a laminated piece has dramatically increased longevity, it helps to save printing costs in the long term.
Often our customers use lamination for projects like menus, maps, or educational or training materials. They also use these pieces in damp, dirty environments, or where they may be exposed to weather. Laminated posters or wall hangings stand up to tough environments like kitchens, factories, and garages.
Lamination also has some unique uses in the office as well. White board markers can be used with a laminated sheet for things like a custom designed whiteboard or reusable calendar. Once you finish, you just wipe it off and use it again.
A quick trip around Pinterest reveals even more ideas. Thousands of ideas.
When you do decide to laminate something, there are a ton of options. There is the thickness of the plastic–from thin and pliable to a thick brick of plastic. There are colored, magnetic, decorative, and UV protective laminating sheets available too.
Add to these choices all of the finishing options we offer at cutpasteandprint. Hole punching for door hangars, corner rounding, binding, and trimming of all kinds.
