Laminating Paper
printed directly on plastic, but can not remember the technology used .. Any ideas?
There are many different types of lamination available. The most common type that most people are familiar with sandwich bag or rolling - this is where a piece of paper with heat sealed between two layers of plastic. These plastic bags are pre-cut and sold in most stationary stores. Another type is the rolling mill roll - this is where the layers of plastic found in a large roll. This type of rolling mill requires a specialized machine. Roll laminate can also be one-sided lamination - which is cost of this method depends on the thickness used lamination. If the final application was a pamphlet, I recommend a thin face matte laminate. The cost of this would be about from £ 0.15 for a sheet of A4. The price will probably vary depending on how many sheets have been laminated. Once rolling is applied, it would protect the paper and make it last longer in addition to what is water resistant. They also feel soft - like plastic. Another alternative is a UV varnish. A UV varnish is applied to role as a liquid varnish which dries to form a protective layer on the paper. The paper also protects against sun damage and discoloration. It may cause paper coated with a glossy or matte UV varnish, which will extend its lifetime. Coating paper with a UV coating also would be cheaper than printing on plastic or laminated printing. The UV coating is commonly used in retail packaging of toys and is also commonly applied to the picture side of postcards. Some Tickets also UV coated to extend their life. You also get a place UV varnish, which means you can paint the areas specified in the paper - which can be used to highlight product images, logos or any other area of your choice. Note that in my experience, a UV varnish is only profitable if it is painted on both sides. Once your paper is varnished to withstand a beating like a rolling. A disadvantage of UV varnish can be applied only to certain types paper and printing. If your brochures are printed on a laser printer on plain paper, the varnish could not adhere to paper or dry for a smooth finish. Moreover, its role should be a minimum weight, so please check with your supplier of UV varnish before going ahead with the printing on the paper chosen. Another alternative is to use a triple coated paper. Some types of paper are coated with 3 or more times during their manufacture. This leaves a soft or bright that it makes them feel like plastic or silk. If you combine this type of offset printing paper, which almost ran out with an ending that could rival the durability and feel of a blade or UV varnish. The cost of these types of paper, of course, more than regular shares. This type of coated paper is almost always used in high-end applications it departs from luxurious effect and feel. Therefore, in my opinion, if you are doing short runs with a laser or inkjet printer and want to protect their brochures, lamination is the way forward. If you are doing great races, would be appropriate to follow the path of UV varnish, in addition to using a lithography process Print your design. If you are doing smaller runs, and the cost is not an issue - why not try a triple coated paper? As with all run, contact your paper, laminate or UV varnish to ensure that providers will be able to finish their work to their specifications to avoid disappointment or unnecessary costs.
