Holographic lamination can be used for many decorative purposes. It is typically used on greetings cards, postcards, brochures, labels, DVD covers, book covers and cartons.
What are the benefits of using Holographic Lamination?
Holographic Lamination can be used to add something special to your design. When laminated over dark coloured print, the pattern can really pop. Placing over a range of printed colours offers different intensities of the pattern. Gloss varnishing has the effect of ‘switching off’ the holographic pattern, increasing the design possibilities.
As with other types of laminate, holographic lamination also offers print protection and is water and grease resistant.
Why should you laminate?
