Lamination Options
We strongly recommend lamination to prevent cracking in the case of capacity folders where there is heavy ink coverage.
What is lamination?
Lamination is a plastic coating applied to printed items, to provide a strong seal and create a heavier, more luxurious feel.
What options are available?
Folders4u currently offers matt and gloss lamination for printed folders, which can be applied to both sides or to the outside only.
- Matt lamination provides a smooth, matt finish, very pleasant to the touch, conveying high quality without showiness, and affording some protection against scratches, fingerprints etc.
- Gloss lamination provides a smooth, high-gloss finish, making for attention-grabbing products, whilst offering superior protection against scratches, fingerprints etc.
Pros:
- Lamination conveys quality through a smoother texture and heavier, more luxurious feel
- Lamination provides protection against scratches, fingerprints etc. (especially gloss lamination)
- Lamination helps to prevent cracking on creases and folds. We strongly recommend lamination with capacity folders where there is heavy ink coverage
Cons:
- Laminated finishes are resistant to ballpoint ink - so not recommended for products intended to be written on
- Lamination can be expensive, particularly for smaller quantities of folders
You can select your required lamination option using the drop-down menu above the product’s price table.
