15 mil Polycarbonate Laminate
15 mil Polycarbonate Laminate is a rigid, frosted, pressure sensitive polycarbonate laminating film designed for the production of trade-show graphics that can be hung with magnets directly to the metal frame of a trade show booth. This film works particularly well with graphics printed on polyester film as both are dimensionally stable materials. Instead of tweaking printer settings or color profiles on your print, simply apply this laminating film and the colors in your graphics will immediately be enhanced.
The 2-mil, high-performance acrylic adhesive helps ensure that the laminating film maintains a strong, permanent bond to the graphic.

Inkjet Media Preparation | Recommend that you allow your print to dry for a minimum of 24 hours before lamination. In areas with high humidity dry times can be longer. |
Laminator Compatibility | Recommended that your laminator be equipped with a release liner take-up reel. Use a rigid sled (1/8" or thicker) such as polycarbonate, acrylic, Masonite or aluminum. This will ensure consistent pressure across the web. Apply a release liner to your sled to prevent adhesive build-up. Use strong tape, such as packaging tape, to attach the entire width of the leading edge of the graphic to the sled. |
Laminator Settings | Apply 80-100 psi and use 2-3 feet per minute for dwell time. Between 90° to 120° F heat is recommended, but heat is not required. The top and bottom web tension should be minimal. |
Adhesive Cure Time | After applying the laminate, allow curing for a minimum of 2 hours before cutting or trimming. Maximum bond strength is reached in 24 hours. |
