When it comes to packaging, printing, or book covers, lamination film is often used to protect the surface and improve the appearance. But should you choose glossy or matte lamination film?
Let's break it down in simple terms so you can choose the right one for your business.
What is Lamination Film?
Lamination film is a thin plastic film (usually BOPP + EVA) that's applied on paper or cardboard using heat and pressure. It adds a layer of protection and gives the surface a better look and feel.
There are two common types:
Glossy Lamination Film – Shiny and smooth
Matte Lamination Film – Soft and non-reflective
