Lamination is the application of a polyester film onto a card’s surface to protect it from wear and tear, UV rays and tampering. The film is applied at a very high temperature over the printed text or image on the card. Obtaining the high temperature requires special equipment: a laminator. Laminators utilize hot rollers that adhere the film onto the card. The film is available in a variety of configurations for use on Holographic Wallpaper: standard or smart cards.
