Q: What information do I need to be supplied an accurate quote?
A: Sheet size, Image area (final trim size), paper stock and how it is printed, offset or digital, along with film finish, thickness and whether it is to laminate one side or two.
Edge Seal – lamination film extends past the edge of printed sheet, generally 1/8”. This is only possible with film on 2 sides. 1.5 mil is the thinnest film used for an edge seal.
Flush – Lamination is applied to press sheets that are larger than the finished piece size. Sheet is then trimmed to finished size. This allows the lamination to be all the way to the piece edge. Flush trim is available for one and two side lamination
