Polyester Hi-Gloss is a 1.5 mil polyester film that produces a high gloss finish over poster and offset printed surfaces. Polyester Hi-Gloss is particularly suited to the production of write-on / wipe-off surfaces. Due to the fact that this film is a polyester and not PVC, it must not be pierced prior to heat sealing. Polyester Hi-Gloss is a limited use film that may not be used over photographs or inkjet output
Overlay Foam is used with any / and all of the laminating films. It is used instead of release paper. The laminating films are perforated to allow air to escape and form allows the air to escape further.
