Label laminate adds a protective layer over printed labels to improve resistance to moisture, oils, chemicals, abrasion, and scratching. It is most commonly used with continuous labels and applied as a separate finishing step after printing.
Laminate rolls are available in gloss and matte finishes and are designed for use with compatible finishing systems
When to use laminate
- Labels will be exposed to moisture or wiping
- Durability and surface protection are important
- Color clarity and print longevity matter
- Labels are applied in higher-handling environments
Finish options
- Gloss laminate enhances color vibrancy and adds shine
- Matte laminate reduces glare and provides a softer, more subdued appearance
- Quiet release helps reduce noise during high-speed printing or application
Finish choice affects appearance, not the underlying label material.
Compatibility note: Laminate rolls are intended for use with continuous labels and require a separate finishing process.
