Why Laminate Posters?

  • Durability: Laminated posters are resistant to spills, tears, and general wear, making them perfect for high-traffic areas.
  • Reusable Materials: Laminated posters can be wiped clean and reused multiple times, which is great for frequently updated materials like charts or calendars.
  • Professional Look: A glossy or matte laminate finish enhances colors and gives your posters a polished, professional appearance.
  • Weather Protection: For outdoor signage, lamination provides extra protection against moisture and UV damage.

How to Laminate Posters

Laminating posters printed with a Classroom Pro or Campus Pro School Poster Maker is easy! Here’s how:

  1. Print Your Poster: Use your School Poster Maker to print your design on standard poster paper or other compatible media.
  2. Choose Your Laminate: Select a laminating film or pouch that matches your poster’s size.
  3. Run It Through a Laminator: Place your poster in the laminating pouch or align it with the film, then feed it through a laminating machine.
  4. Trim Excess Edges (Optional): After laminating, use a trimmer to remove any excess laminate for a clean, finished look.
