Protective laminate for durable and long-lasting labels
Protective laminate for labels: Maximum protection & durability
A protective laminate is a transparent plastic film that is applied over the printed label. It protects the print from abrasion, scratches, chemicals, UV radiation and moisture. Protective laminate significantly extends the lifespan of barcode labels and is particularly recommended for inventory labels and industrial applications.
Types of protective laminate
Glossy: Maximum transparency, brilliant colours. Ideal for product labels and barcodes that need to be visually appealing. Matt: Glare-free and fingerprint-resistant. Ideal for environments with artificial lighting and frequent handling. Textured: Particularly scratch-resistant, for harsh industrial environments.
When is protective lamination recommended?
Wherever labels need to remain legible for years: inventory labels on equipment, type plates on machinery, inspection labels and outdoor use. Protective lamination typically increases a label’s lifespan by 3–5 times.

How much does protective lamination on labels cost?
Protective lamination increases the price of labels by approx. 20–40%. For inventory labels designed to last 5–10 years, it is a worthwhile investment.
Can protective lamination be applied retrospectively?
For professional labels, the laminate is applied during the printing process. Retrofitting lamination is possible using special laminating equipment, but it is less durable.
