Cold Lamination Film
The glue in "cold" lamination is more aggressive and can be applied with pressure rather than heat. A release liner shields the adhesive until the film is ready to be applied, which is commonly done on a cold-roll lamination machine with a release liner rewind. Cold lamination is typically utilized with print media not compatible with thermal films and only applied to one side to prolong the life of the printed image. Cold laminating films are generally more expensive than hot laminating films, although they can be applied with less expensive, non-heated or heat-assist cold lamination machines. A heat assist lamination machine applies only enough heat to soft adhesives and will have a maximum temperature of 140° F or less. Softening the adhesive prevents silvering, the tiny air bubbles that are visible over dark-colored images, in lamination film.
Benefits of Cold Lamination Film
1. A cold lamination machine is less expensive and easier to operate.
2. By applying low heat, the problem of unpleasant bubbles is solved.
3. Additional UV and weather protection to prolong the life of prints.
4. Because only one side of a graphic can be laminated, this is an excellent choice for adhesive-backed media meant for floor or wall decals and vehicle wraps as well.
