APPLYING AN OVERLAMINATE
This process involves applying an over laminate to an
image with the use of a sled or pre-coated substrate.
PREPARATION:
• Set your nip in accordance with the thickness of the
pre-coated board you will be using.
• Load a roll of pressure sensitive laminating film on
the top unwind shaft.
• Do not remove the release liner from the sled.

WEBBING PROCEDURE
• Pull the film down from the top unwind. Separate
the film from the release liner and lay the film over
the top roller.
• Connect the release liner to the windup tube with a
piece of tape. Attaching the release liner to a
cardboard core (over the windup tube) will allow
for easier cleanup.
• Pull the film evenly across the face of the main
rollers.
• Feed a leader board that is the same thickness as the
sled, into the nip. Make sure that the film is
adhered to the release liner on the leader board.
• Place an image face up on a sled and send it through
the nip.
• When the sled comes through, place another leader
board between the nips to hold the film.
• You may now cut the image away from the sled.
