Expert Mounting and Laminating Services

Lamination adds a protective film to printed materials, helping guard against moisture, fingerprints, scuffs, and frequent handling. It can also enhance appearance with finishes such as gloss, matte, or satin, depending on the project. It is commonly used for menus, signs, presentation pieces, sales materials, and other prints that need added durability.

Mounting is ideal for pieces that need rigidity, clean presentation, or display-ready structure. Common uses include presentation boards, posters, point-of-purchase graphics, trade show visuals, lobby signage, and marketing displays. Compucolor can help determine the right mounting approach based on print size, handling requirements, display environment, and desired finished appearance.

Compucolor notes that many orders are ready within 24–72 hours, depending on project size, material availability, finishing complexity, and production schedule. Simple lamination jobs may move quickly, while large-format mounting or multi-piece campaigns may require more planning. Providing final files and clear specifications up front helps keep turnaround predictable.

Yes. Mounting and laminating can often be combined to create a polished, durable, display-ready piece. Lamination protects the printed surface, while mounting adds structure and rigidity. This combination is especially useful for presentations, retail displays, event graphics, and materials that need to look sharp while withstanding handling or transport.

For best results, submit high-resolution final artwork at the correct size with any required bleed, trim marks, and finishing notes. Files should be carefully proofed before submission, especially for mounted pieces where size and alignment matter. Compucolor’s online file submission process is designed to make ordering and quoting straightforward.

The best finish depends on how the piece will be used. Gloss can make colors appear vibrant, matte reduces glare and creates a refined look, and satin offers a balanced appearance. For display graphics, lighting conditions and viewing distance matter. For handled materials, durability and cleanability are often the main priorities.
