Laminate refers to a thin protective film applied over a printed surface to improve durability and change the look and feel of the piece. Lamination helps protect against scuffs, scratches, moisture, and handling wear, while also giving the surface a finish such as matte, gloss, or soft-touch.
Lamination is commonly used on custom packaging, labels, retail displays, and printed collateral where appearance and protection both matter. It can also be combined with other enhancements like spot UV, foil stamping, or embossing to add contrast, texture, and a more premium presentation.
