Encapsulation

Encapsulation is the term for sealing an image with heat sensitive laminates on both sides.
Note:
The heated rollers need time to reach their set temperature (e.g. from room temperature
to maximum takes approximately 1 hour). It is recommended to let the machine run at
low speed, to avoid uneven hot spots.
•
Switch ON both heaters, set the temperatures (see the specifications of the
materials used) and allow ample time to reach the set temperature.
•
Set the upper pull roller in the upper position before webbing and lock it in position.
• The procedure is the same as the double-sided lamination above (section 5.5.4).
5.5.6

Over-lamination

After an image is mounted to a panel, a protective laminate can be applied. This over-
laminate can be a heat sensitive laminate or a pressure sensitive adhesive with release
liner.
• This process is the same as to pre-coating a board (section 5.5.2).
5.5.7

Decaling

When decaling, a laminate is put over the image side and an adhesive backing is put on
the backside of the image.
• The process is the same as double-sided lamination (section 5.5.4).
This decal can later be mounted onto a panel or other substrate.
