Lamination film is a common office product used to protect documents, photos, menus, certificates, etc., making them more durable, waterproof, and scratch-resistant.
1. Common lamination film specifications (sizes)

3. How to choose the specifications and thickness that suit you?
There are actually two key points in choosing lamination film:
The size should match the size of the paper you want to laminate
For example, if you have an A4 document, choose 216×303mm A4 lamination film
The thickness depends on your requirements for "protection strength" and "feel"
Want it to be softer and easier to turn pages? Choose 100mic
Want it to be stiffer and more wear-resistant? Choose 125mic or thicker
Remember: choose the right specifications and thickness, the lamination effect will be better and more durable!
