Print’N Seal Systems use an INKJET and LAMINATION process

It’s not sublimation. It’s not screen printing. But it is full color, easy to use, and very cost-effective for awards, gifts and short run promotional products designed to produce high quality full color images on wood, acrylic, glass, marble, plastic and metal.

Users are able to print: full color award plaques of metal, acrylic or glass; signs, clock faces; name badges; legend plates; mouse pads; four color kids trophies; paperweights; ornaments; key tags and more.

There are four simple steps to print and seal any image:

1. Print full color. After laying out your graphics on your computer, the image is sent to a standard inkjet printer using standard ink. The printer is loaded with Print’N Seal special permanent adhesive-backed film (available in both clear and white).
2. Overlaminate.  The original printed film is put through an overlaminator to apply a layer of clear film over the printed ink to seal the image and also provide ultraviolet protection. This overlaminate material is available in five different finishes to give a different look to the finished product. These finishes are: clear gloss and clear matte vinyl (great for metal plates); special UV scratch resistant Etched look vinyl (great for acrylic, glass, indoor signs, name badges, mouse pads etc.); and crystal clear gloss scratch resistant polyester.
3. Squeegee: Next, a lubricant (wetting agent) is sprayed on the substrate (metal, glass, wood, plastic etc.) and the backing paper is removed from the permanent adhesive. The adhesive is also sprayed with the wetting agent and then positioned on the substrate and squeegee to remove any air bubbles. It is then allowed to dry.
4. Trim Finished Product: After drying the substrate is then trimmed with a razor knife or metal shear (must dry overnight) as needed. You now have the finished product in full color.
