While looking at Cold Laminating Film and Hot Laminating Film, it is important to look at the distinct characteristics they possess. For example, cold laminating films are to be used on thermally sensitive materials that would otherwise warp or stretch when put to heat. Hot applying laminating films would require heat in order to grip the material while providing rigid and glossy coverage at the same time. In the lamination and Printing sectors, both thermally applied and cold films have a specific purpose and are very important in enhancing printed materials.
