ONE-SIDED (HOT) LAMINATING
One-sided, thermal (hot) laminating, for the most part, is applied to press sheets with the thinnest of laminating films; ranging from 1.1 to 2.0 mil. The advantages of plastic laminating affords the final products durability, water / oil / acid resistance, longevity and value-added appearance. Film lamination eliminates cracking and chipping of inks on printed substrates.
