The correct laminate for the job
Hi all,
I have been asked to gloss laminate 200off 200gsm posters. The posters are free issue. I was wondering what laminate to use. Can you just use gloss lam that you would use on vinyl or would I have to use special lam for poster paper.
The size of posters are 1000mm x 700mm. How long do you think it would take to laminate and trim 200 posters at that size.
I’m really quiet at the moment and this job could keep me out of trouble for a while :o)

for that quantity vinyl lam would be to dear.
ring your supplier and ask what else they have, the price drops a lot for that sort of lam.chris

I’ve laminated posters with standard clear vinyl before and it’s been fine. Was only for very short term and customer was advised that it was at there own risk so I don’t know how they held up.
If it’s for short term (just to make posters waterproof) I’d be tempted to get the cheapest lam you can get your hands on and go for it.

Grafityp do a fairly cheap lam in either matt or gloss, I use the matt and looks great on posters as it does not reflect as much light and make it easier to read.
code is LAM100 Matt and is 950mm wide for £96.48/roll (50m) for 5 rolls (£2/meter)
Cheers

We have had a few issues printing on paper. We have found printing on cheap polyprop a more suitable option as it provides less wear and tear especially in transport and frequent use as opposed to unlaminated paper.
Price wise they are basically the same.

I Would check with the customer that by "laminate" they do not mean encapsulation, like you have on menus and certificates etc.
