Professional Laminating Services
Lamination adds a protective plastic film over a printed surface while also changing its appearance and feel. It can help printed materials handle regular use while giving them a more polished and finished appearance.
Whether you want a refined matt look, a bright gloss finish or a premium soft-touch feel, the right laminate can enhance the way your printed materials look and perform.
Matt, Gloss & Soft Touch Lamination
Lamination adds a protective layer to printed materials while influencing their appearance and feel. DB Print offers matt, gloss and soft touch finishing options to suit different designs, presentation needs and intended uses. The right finish depends on the look you want to achieve, the type of material being laminated and how the finished piece will be handled.
Matt Lamination
Matt lamination provides a smooth, non-reflective surface with a refined and contemporary appearance. It is a good choice when you want a professional finish without the shine of a gloss surface.
The matt finish can also help protect printed materials against everyday wear and handling while maintaining a subtle appearance.
Gloss Lamination
Gloss lamination creates a bright, reflective surface that can enhance colour depth and sharpness. It is particularly effective when you want photographs, graphics and strong brand colours to have a bold, high-impact appearance.
Soft Touch Lamination
Soft touch lamination provides a smooth, velvety feel that adds a premium tactile quality to printed materials. It combines a distinctive finish with added protection, making it suitable when presentation and the physical feel of the printed piece are both important.

How to Choose the Right Lamination
Start by considering how you want the finished material to look and feel. Matt, gloss and soft touch each create a different visual experience.
You should also consider how frequently the item will be handled, where it will be used and whether photographs, graphics or brand colours are an important part of the design.
For a modern, understated appearance, matt can be a good choice. Gloss works well when you want stronger visual impact, while soft touch can provide a more premium and tactile presentation.
Your quantity, printed material and budget should also be considered when selecting the most suitable finishing option.
