Frequently Asked Questions

What is book lamination?

Book lamination is a print finishing process that applies a thin protective film to printed materials, most often book covers, catalogs, booklets, and marketing collateral. The laminate helps guard against scuffing, fingerprints, handling wear, and minor moisture exposure while changing the look and feel of the piece. Matt finishes create a softer, refined surface, while gloss finishes add shine and color vibrancy.
