laminasjonsfilm

Laminasjonsfilm, often referred to as laminating film, is a plastic material used to protect and preserve documents or other flat items. It is typically made from polyester or PVC and comes in various thicknesses and finishes, such as matte or glossy. The film is applied to the surface of an item using a laminating machine, which heats the film and adheres it to the item. This process creates a protective barrier that shields against moisture, dirt, tearing, and UV damage.

The primary function of laminating film is to enhance the durability and longevity of printed materials. It is commonly used for ID cards, menus, photographs, certificates, business cards, and signage. The film can also improve the visual appeal of a document by adding a professional sheen or a non-reflective matte finish. Different types of laminating film exist to suit various applications. For instance, pressure-sensitive films do not require heat and can be applied manually, while thermal films require a laminating machine. Pouches are pre-cut sheets of laminating film that enclose an item, while rolls offer a continuous supply for larger or custom-sized items. The choice of film thickness often depends on the desired level of protection and the flexibility required for the laminated item.
