Lamination
No LaminationPrinted graphics without lamination will retain its original texture, which can create a unique aesthetic appeal. However, the print will be more susceptible to wear and tear, as it will have no protective layer provided by lamination. Over time, the lack of lamination may result in fading, smudging and decreased durability. While the absence of lamination allows for a distinct tactile experience with an initial cost saving, it’s essential to consider the trade-off in terms of longevity and resilience.
