Laminating is the process of applying a film to either one side or both sides of a printed document. The use of lamination serves several purposes:
Lamination adds luster or gloss to a printed product.
It provides stability to the sheet, allowing it to be more durable or stand upright.
It provides protection to sheets that are handled frequently or may encounter moisture.
Many laminated documents are waterproof, tear proof, and tamper proof.
Lamination can be a useful and often necessary addition to various products including posters, maps, membership cards, calendars, food labels, menus, signs, price tags, ID cards, point-of-sale materials, business cards, charts, photographs, placemats, badges, covers, certificates, and many others.
