Laminated Label Possibilities Abound

Laminating film is designed to seal and protect printing ink from damage and increase its longevity. It's also used to make paper label stock weather-resistant and weather-resistant stock—such as vinyl and polyester—even more durable.

Bill Bohning, president of Label Works, Mankato, Minn., explained that laminated labels typically contain static information. "Laminating film is not a suitable writing surface. Like writing on plastic, most markers get bubbly or pool-up, and ink simply wipes off."
