Lamination uses adhesive and pressure to combine two dissimilar materials, adding a layer of protection, a unique product characteristic, or adhesives.

Overlaminate is a thin layer of clear plastic film, and can be applied to the printed surface of a safety label or decal, which protects the graphics.

Adhesives can be added to the back-side, specifically chosen for the intended application surface.

Sub-surface printed graphics on a clear substrate can have an adhesive layer applied to the printing, making a low-cost, but extremely durable plastic safety label or decal.
