25 Nov When Should Printed Material Be Laminated?
While we’re all familiar with the necessity for laminated menus at restaurants, many business owners might be surprised to learn that there are a lot of other situations that call for laminated printed materials. You should consider lamination for your printed business materials in the following situations.
They Need to Last as Long as Possible
Laminating your printed materials will improve their overall lifespan by making them less vulnerable to ripping, fraying, and being destroyed by moisture or insects. If you have printed materials that won’t be changing any time soon and you want them to stay attractive for as long as possible, you should consider lamination.
It Needs to Be Durable
If your materials need to be durable because they are going to be passed around to many people or used in a wide variety of environments, you should choose lamination. Lamination will allow the printed materials to withstand frequent use without falling apart and needing to be reprinted. A laminated safety guide, for instance, can be passed around different departments while still being preserved.
It Needs to be Permanent or Unchangeable
Another benefit of laminating printed materials is that it preserves the document and prevents it from being changed or altered. If someone writes or draws on it, the marks can be wiped off easily. Laminated instructions or protocols can be used throughout a company without risk of an employee trying to change something.
It Might Come Into Contact With Moisture
Laminated materials are protected from spills, drips, and moisture. If your materials are going to come into contact with water or other moisture, lamination will keep them from being destroyed. For instance, laminated restaurant menus are at risk of stains and spills each time a guest uses them, but lamination makes them easy to clean.
