Laminating vinyl is a transparent film with an adhesive backed liner that is commonly used in digital printing, floor graphics, and window graphics to protect it from moisture, UV rays or other damages. The film can be made in various thicknesses and finishes. They are coated with pressure-sensitive laminate adhesives that can bond well with solvent printed graphics.
Below are the benefits for using laminating film:
- Laminating film is thicker than clear coatings and provides greater protection.
- It is highly compatible with many printing systems, screeners, and other systems.
- It provides a uniform finish with a consistent gloss.
- It can last 3~5 years depending on the film composition
- It is easy to apply to any relatively flat and smooth surface.
- Laminating film is faster to apply compared to protective liquid coating because it does not require drying time.
