Good to know
Before you order.
How do I pick a finish?
Gloss works well for photos and bright designs. Matt is the better choice for text-heavy designs, corporate branding, and anything you need to write on or read under bright lights.
Pairing with other finishes
Matt lamination is often paired with spot UV or foil for a bold contrast. Ask us about mixing finishes.
Frequently asked questions
Will lamination add to the turnaround?

Is it possible to laminate just one side?
