Two-sided, thermal (hot) laminating is applied to net-size, sealed edge (encapsulated) sheets and/or press forms to be flush / die-cut .  The caliper of laminates range from 1.2 to 15.0 mil.  The advantage of sealed-edge laminating is complete protection from moisture, water, oil, gasses and most acids.  Whether flush-cut or encapsulated, lamination will afford your graphics durability, longevity and value-added appearance.
