Company report , brochures, catalogs, book jacket covers, magazines, folders and point-of-sale displays.
Matt Lamination
This Matt finish coupled with its smooth texture offers a sophisticated non-reflective silky image to premium printed items such as annual reports, folders, brochures and book covers and to material printed on matte stock. Matt finishes are also particularly suited to surfaces which need to be easily read such as wall maps, but can be prone to scuffing and should be handled with care.
