FLEXcon's TechTips: When and Why You Use an Overlaminate

  The Spring 2014 FLEXible Converter Newsletter from FLEXcon includes a TechTips article by Product Manager Ron Ducharme and Technical Service Representative Peter Codner.  The newsletter should be posted online soon at: http://www.flexcon.com/Resource-Center/FLEXcon-Newsletters.aspx

  Ducharme and Codner concisely identify when and why to use an overlaminate by asking 5 questions:

• What is the end-use application?
• What substrate are you overlaminating?
• What type of environment will the end-use application be subjected to?
• What are your durability requirements?
• What printing technology will be used?

  Ducharme and Codner walk the reader through each question with common applications and examples.  As the authors conclude, "Selecting the right overlaminate may mean the difference between success and failure for your application."  For more information or to discuss a project that may benefit from finishing with an overlaminate, please call us at 800-535-0002 or email info@nitebright.com.
