What are laminating foils?
Laminating foils are transparent protective sleeves that are used to protect documents, worksheets, posters and other materials and extend their lifespan. They consist of several layers of plastic that are either fused together using heat or a special adhesive and pressure.
Advantages of laminating foils
- Foils are quick & easy to use
- Available in various formats
- Offer reliable protection against tearing, yellowing and more
- Various laminating foil pouches make it easier to insert the materials
- Fair prices for high quality directly from the manufacturer
Buying laminating pouches - the selection criteria
Thickness and size (80 mic, 125 mic, A5, A4, A3)
Laminating foils are available from TimeTEX in various thicknesses and sizes, including 80 microns and 125 microns for different levels of protection. The sizes range from A5 for smaller sheets to A3 for larger posters.
Difference between glossy and matt laminating films
Glossy laminating foils offer a smooth, reflective surface, while matt foils have an even, non-reflective surface. The choice between the two depends on personal preference and the intended use. Glossy films look very professional and classy and can be written on with markers. Matt films can be written on with ballpoint pens and pencils and have an anti-reflective effect thanks to their matt coating.
Application tips for laminating films at school
Creative applications
Laminating films can be used for a variety of creative projects at school:
- Craft projects:
Laminating foils can also be used for various craft projects, such as making window pictures, magnetic pictures or personalised bookmarks. These projects can promote both the creative and practical aspects of learning. - Interactive learning games:
Through lamination, teachers can create interactive learning games, such as bingo cards, memory games or vocabulary puzzles. These games can make the learning process more fun while promoting understanding and collaboration. - Making organisational aids:
Teachers can use laminating sheets to work with the class to make organisational aids such as name tags, calendars or classroom rules. These can then be easily wiped clean and reused. - Designing worksheets:
Teachers can laminate worksheets to make them reusable. This is particularly useful for activities that need to be repeated regularly, such as maths or language exercises.
Tips for successful lamination
- Preparation and cleanliness:
Make sure your work environment is clean, dry and free of dust and grease. Use a PCR roller to remove dust and dirt from the surfaces. - Observe material thickness:
When selecting the materials to be laminated, pay attention to their thickness. Paper thickness is usually not a problem, but some laminators can also process thicker materials. Check the instructions of your laminator or contact the manufacturer to ensure that the object to be laminated is not too thick. If the material is too thick, the film may not adhere sufficiently or there is even a risk that it will be pushed out of the pocket during lamination and, in the worst case, get stuck in the device. - Avoid silvering:
To avoid silvering (fine air bubbles between the print and the laminating film), heat the roll slightly to around 30 degrees Celsius during lamination. This allows the adhesive to flow better and prevents the formation of air bubbles. - Acclimatisation after lamination:
It is important to allow laminated prints to rest at room temperature for at least 24 hours after lamination before proceeding with any further steps. This ensures that the adhesive adheres optimally and the foil has time to set and relax.
Frequently asked questions about laminating films
What is the difference between cold and hot lamination?
During hot lamination, the laminating foil is heated by the device to create a firm bond with the document. This means that the laminated document can no longer be separated without damaging the film. This method is ideal for documents that need to be protected from manipulating.
In contrast, cold lamination requires no heat and only uses pressure to bond the special films. It is gentler on heat-sensitive materials and makes it easy to rework the laminated documents as they are not firmly welded together. The films are self-adhesive and no laminator is required.
Are laminating films waterproof?
Yes, laminating films offer waterproof protection for laminated materials and are therefore ideal for use in environments where moisture is a factor. However, your documents are only absolutely waterproof if they have been hot laminated. Unfortunately, water protection is not guaranteed with cold laminating films.
Can laminating films be punched and cut?
Yes, laminated materials can be punched and cut without any problems, for example to organise them in folders or presentation folders.
