FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What do I need to look out for with soft touch laminate printing?
Soft touch lamination is truly awesome and we can’t recommend it enough. You just need to watch out for large areas of solid, dark colours such as black, navy, grey etc. This laminate is likely to show up incriminating fingerprints or marks if it has a dark colour beneath it, so bear that in mind when you’re designing for soft touch laminated print.
How does laminated printing actually work?
Laminating is essentially an ultra-thin sheet of plastic that’s heat-sealed to the surface of the paper once it’s printed. This has the effect of protecting the print from water droplets, scratches and dog-eared corners. There are also a few alternatives available including anti-scuff laminate and textures such as fabric or leather effects.
