Nice video and very informative. Thanks for sharing. :) Maybe you could help me getting the right answers for something that I'm trying figuring out, as you seem to have more experience than me regarding to lamination: I'm making some unique boxes for non-boxed computer games that I have, and I'm willing to protect the printed side of the art sheet from any moisture and liquids. The same that you can find in commercial boxes. In some cases, I'll be printing directly on the cardboard (if it's not too thick to be inserted into the printer), while in other cases where a thick box is required then the printed sheet will be glued to a thicker cardboard. Once laminated is complete the final sheet will be cut and bend to a shape of a box. From old disintegrated computer game boxes and other commercial boxes, I found that they have only the printed side laminated, while the non-printed cardboard side remains untouched. The same case with packaging of say action figures that come in the hanging cardboard that you can find in toy stores (front is smooth and moisture resistant with some kind of lamination, and the back is pure cardboard with no lamination whatsoever). Any idea if the process of laminating commercial boxes is the same single sided lamination like in your video? Also, traditional dual-sided lamination material is way too thick for bending (to make for example a box shape from the laminated sheet). Is the adhesive film roll you're presenting remains flexible after the lamination is complete, which can be then bent and glued nicely? Commercial boxes that I checked has a very (VERY) thin and flexible layer of lamination. I wonder if the roll one is the same. And if so, can you provide some properties of that film roll such as what thickness it has and if there's more than one brand? Many thanks!
