Lamination FAQs
12)	What specific precautions should be taken to reduce the curl in laminated sheets?
13)	Is there a curing time involved with lamination? We realize that not everyone has the opportunity to wait a full 24 hours before sending the substrate onto the next finishing process. But, our research has shown that waiting 24 hours after laminating will improve the bond and should make it easier to emboss and die cut. Each operator will have to determine whether he/she needs to wait before continuing on to the next finishing stage. Successful bonding will depend on the substrates and inks used combined with the environmental conditions.
14)	The film isn't sticking to my sheets. What's the problem?
