Hot laminates utilize plastic pouches that seal a printed piece with an overlap area. The combination of the overlap area and the heat sensitive glue that is released through the heat process completely seals the printed piece to create an extremely durable and waterproof product. Cold laminates are basically large adhesive tapes that cannot be relied upon in outdoor uses without an inevitable risk of moisture intrusion.
