Are there any special layout considerations when preparing materials for laminating?
When designing and printing for One Side Lamination, the design, layout assembly and printing teams should know that a to inch area along all 4 edges of the printed sheet that is free of inks or coatings of any kind is required. Trim marks are helpful in positioning the film on the sheet. In contrast, Two Side Lamination can be applied to the very edges of the sheet and beyond. Press sheets with multiple images and trim marks will be laminated and returned ready for final cutting. Sheets with individual images can be flush trimmed or sealed with a 1/8 film border extending beyond the four edges of the sheet.
