Films
& Adhesives
When you select a SEAL material
to convert your print, you can be sure of quality, performance
and value. With over 300 different heat-activated and pressure-sensitive
materials to choose from, each roll of film is specially constructed
for perfect mounting, laminating or encapsulating according
to your print type and application.
Tried and tested on the market leading SEAL range of professional
wide format laminators, every material is designed for high
performance, optimum image vibrancy and protection and virtually
always available in a choice of many different finishes and
sizes.
Depending on the finished product
you are looking to produce, you may need one or a combination
of different materials that will effectively ‘sandwich’
your print to form your graphic. The possible layers of the
sandwich and types of SEAL products you would need are shown
below:
Over laminating Film
- A clear film with an adhesive that is applied to the top or
front side of an image.
An overlaminating film can also
be applied to both sides of an image – This is known as
encapsulating.
Mounting Adhesive - An adhesive
material (film) that is used to bond a printed image to a substrate
or surface.
Adhesive can be applied to the
face or back of
an image depending
on the finished product.
Backing Film
- Designed to apply to the backside of a printed image to obtain
some level of opacity and rigidity to prevent curling when rolled
up. Backing films ‘encapsulate’ the image as an
over-laminating film is also applied to the top.
