Lamination

Lamination is the process of applying a clear film over you sign to protect it & to lengthen its durability outside. Advantages of laminating your sign include enhancing protection and improving its durability. Typically, lamination can almost double the outdoor durability of most signs. The minor extra cost is well worth the investment because it will greatly benefit you in the long run, reducing the overall expense of maintaining and replacing damaged signs like fascia signs, directional signs, informational signs or any outdoor signs in general. Fastsigns Surrey offers several different types of lamination film. The following is a list of the common types used.

Gloss or Matte DOL 1000 Durable Series

The DOL 1000 Series from Avery is a premium quality, flexible, cast laminate film designed for use as a protective over-laminating film for digitally printed images, especially on vinyl films. The DOL 1000 Series in combination with our cast vinyl films offer the best protection against colour fading, UV radiation and abrasion. Using an acrylic-based permanent adhesive, the film is resistant to most petroleum based oils, greases, aliphatic solvents, mild acids, alkalis, and salts.

Anti Graffiti DOL 6060

The Avery SF DOL 6060 Anti-Graffiti is a clear polyester over-laminating film designed to protect indoor and outdoor markings and decorations against permanent damage from chemicals, solvents or graffiti paints. SF DOL 6060 Anti-Graffiti over-laminate can be used over screen and digital graphics to protect the graphic against chemical or mechanical attack, allowing easy removal of graffiti paint. Its high-gloss finish enhances the colour and depth of the image. While the film is perfect for protecting graphics from graffiti vandals, it also provides excellent UV, temperature, humidity, and salt-spray resistance.

Dry-Erase Film SF100

The SF100 is a high-gloss film that can be written on with dry-erase markers. The 5.3 mil polypropylene film allows easy removal of the dry-erase ink, which essentially transforms any sign into a dry-erase board. This is the perfect material for creating customized white boards or menu boards.
