GLOSSARY
Encapsulating – Sandwiching an image between two
heat activated films.
Film – A synonym for laminate. The clear material used
in the laminating and encapsulating processes.
Mounting – Permanently affixing an image onto a backing
board.
Nip – The area where the top and bottom main rolls
meet.
Release Liner – The backing on a pressure sensitive,
heat activated laminate or mounting adhesive. Once the
release liner is peeled off, the adhesive layer becomes
exposed.
Decal – An image that has been laminates on top and
has an adhesive backing.
Leader Board – A piece of stiff card or foam board used
to lead film into the nip of the main rollers. In addition,
this is used when pre-coating to prevent adhesive getting
onto the rollers.
Sled (Carrier Board) – A board that has a non-stick
surface that is used when laminating one side of an
image only. These are sometimes made using a flat
board coated with a self-wound pressure sensitive
adhesive. The silicone release liner is not removed
during coating and provides the necessary non-stick
surface.
Pre-Coating – The process of coating a substrate with an
adhesive mounting film onto which an image can be
mounted.
