Hot Lamination
Hot lamination is a process that uses heat and pressure to seal materials, typically paper or photographs, between layers of plastic. This method enhances durability, making items resistant to moisture, dirt, and wear. The heat activates adhesives in the laminate, creating a strong bond that protects the underlying material.
The hot lamination process is commonly used in various applications, such as creating ID cards, menu covers, and posters. It is favored for its ability to provide a professional finish while extending the lifespan of printed materials. This technique is often performed using a laminator machine designed for this purpose.
