Pressure sensitive laminate have an adhesive and release liner and can applied to the media by pressure only. Heat activated laminate does not require a release liner and is applied to the media with heat and pressure. There are two types of heat activated laminate, one considered a high temperature 220-240°F and the other low temperature less than 180°F.
