Laminating Films

Short-Run Laminating Films

I can supply a broad range of laminating films for both short-run digital systems in sizes from SRA3 (315/320mm) up to SRA2 (440/445mm) in popular lengths from 500m to 1000m. On the laminating systems capable of producing B2 (510mm) litho work, I can supply lengths up to 3000m.

Popular finishes such as Gloss & Matt as well as Silk are available as well is Digital Megabond, specifically for digital work when maximum adhesion is required.

Wide Format Laminating Films

A range of wide format cold laminating films can be supplied, Gloss, Matt, Crystal Matt, as well as special films for floor graphics and anti-graffiti. A variety of widths and weight are available on all these films.


 

Special Effect Films and Foils

Aqua Aura Special Effect Films and Foils

A range of coloured foils and films, including Spot UV-style and Glitter effects

Systems that add special effects during the finishing process give prints that extra 'wow' factor. These finishes are typically used on packaging, business cards, stationery, book covers, security print, wedding stationery and high end, bespoke print.

As well as laminating prints, the Matrix Pneumatic & Duplex Systems can also create beautifully finished work using Foils and Special Effect Films.

Special custom-made blocks or dies are normally required to create foiling effects. But with the Matrix, this is achievable due to the adjustable pressure from the pneumatic rollers.

The technology opens up a completely new revenue stream for Matrix users, saving both time and money compared to outsourcing. One-off bespoke jobs and print proofs can now be produced in-house in seconds.

Similar to traditional foiling methods, the process to create these on-demand effects works by using heat transfer technology, but at a fraction of the cost of producing individual dies.

With foils available in Silver, Gold, Copper, Red & Blue and a Clear Gloss Film to create Spot UV-style finishes, using just one system to laminate, foil and Spot UV offers an even greater return on investment, as multiple applications are possible.
