| Durafilm Pressure-Sensitive Vinyl Laminates:
This pressure-sensitive (cold) laminate contains UV inhibitors to protect and enhance images indoors or outdoors. It is available in the following finishes:
- Gloss Vinyl sharpens and enlivens colors and images without distortion. Adds "zip" as well as protection to graphics.
- Matte Vinyl has a non-reflective matte finish that eliminates light reflection and deepens colors. Recommended for highly lighted areas where glare can be a problem.
- Lustre Vinyl imparts a rich sheen that enhances a graphic with less reflectivity than gloss finishes. For use when gloss is too much.

Durafilm Mounting Boards & Laminating Pouches:
White Mounting Boards are used for mounting with a pouch or hot roll laminator. The boards are pre-laminated on the back to minimize bowing when a graphic is mounted to the front. The fronts of the boards are coated with heat-activated adhesive.
To use: Select the board closest in size to the graphic to be mounted. Center the graphic on the adhesive (dull) side of the board. Cover the whole top of the board (graphic and all) with a piece of release paper (two are included in the box with the boards). The release sheet protects the rollers of the laminator from exposure to adhesive not covered by the graphic.
Mounting Boards w/Gloss, Satin, or Crystal are used for simultaneous mounting and laminating. The boards are pre-laminated on the back to minimize bowing when a graphic is mounted/laminated to the front. The fronts of the boards are coated with heat-activated adhesive and have a piece of laminating film in gloss, satin, or crystal attached.
To use: Select the board closest in size to the graphic to be mounted/laminated. Lift up the piece of laminating film, center the graphic on the board, lay the attached laminate back down over the top of the graphic. It is not necessary to use a release paper in this process as the laminate covers the whole top of the board, thus protecting the laminating rollers from exposure to adhesive.
