Frequently Asked Questions

Explore everything you need to know about our lamination and UV coating finishing services, designed to protect and enhance your printed materials.

What types of lamination finishes do you offer?
We offer a variety of finishes, including gloss, satin, matte, scuff-resistant, soft touch, and specialty films like holographic and textured options.
How is UV coating different from lamination?
Lamination applies a protective film to your materials, while UV coating is a liquid coating cured with ultraviolet light for a smooth, glossy finish that adds visual impact.
What sizes and thicknesses can you handle for lamination?
We laminate pieces as small as 8.5″ x 11″ and up to 52″ x 79″, with stock ranges from 3pt to 48pt. Sealed-edge lamination and large format options are available.
What sizes can you handle for UV coating?

For flood UV coating, we handle sheets up to 43″ x 50″, while spot UV coating can be applied to sheets up to 31″ x 41.75″ with tight registration.

We finish a wide range of substrates, including paper, board, and specialty materials like digital-friendly stocks and floor graphic over-laminates.
