Laminating is the process of applying a film to either one side or both sides of a printed document. The use of lamination serves several purposes:
- Lamination adds luster or gloss to a printed product.
- It provides stability to the sheet, allowing it to be more durable or stand upright.
- It provides protection to sheets that are handled frequently or may encounter moisture.
- Many laminated documents are splash proof, tear proof, and tamper proof.
