What overlaminate means

An overlaminate is a clear film applied over a printed graphic to protect the ink from sunlight, scratches, fuel and cleaning. It comes in gloss, matte and textured finishes.

Also called laminate, overlam, clear coat film.

Where it matters on a sign job

Printed vehicle graphics and floor decals fade or scuff fast without it. Match the laminate to the base film, cast over cast, and list lamination on the quote so the customer can see what keeps the colors bright.
