What are the benefits of lamination for your book printing?
Lamination is one of the main processes of Chinese book printing and post-press processing. It is to bond the plastic film coated with adhesive and the paper printed matter after heating and pressing to form a paper-plastic product. It is one of the common post-press processing techniques for book printing.
The laminated printed matter has a smoother and brighter surface due to the extra layer of thin and transparent plastic film on the surface. Which not only improves the gloss and fastness of the printed matter, and prolongs the service life of it. At the same time, the plastic film is also moisture-proof, Waterproof, antifouling, abrasion resistance, folding resistance, chemical corrosion resistance and other protective functions. If a transparent bright film is used for laminating, the printed pictures and texts of the laminating products will be brighter and full of three-dimensionality, which is especially suitable for the packaging of green food and other commodities, and can arouse people's appetite and consumer desire.
