Lamination is a durable protective film that extends the functional life of printed materials. It is not a plastic, but is chemically inert nylon, polyester or polypropylene. And it can be recycled.
Unlike protective liquid finishes such as aqueous coating, varnish or UV, film lamination actually reinforces paper, preventing litho crack, corner wear and paper tear on spines and score lines. Since it is a film, it stretches and flexes, something liquid coatings cannot do.
The unique properties of lamination insure that printed pieces will last longer and perform better, an important consideration when considering the sustainable life of a printed piece.
