GMP SureMaster Laminator

By placing a clear protective film over prints, signs and all types of graphics we decrease the potential for damage to a large degree. This process protects against buffing, scratching, general wear and tear and most cleaning agents. There are many different types of laminate ranging from short term [up to 12 months] to long term vehicle laminate [5 years]. There is also an Anti-Graffiti grade. There are UV inhibitors of different strength in each grade of laminate. With lamination you also increase the life of your signage. At Poster World we offer single sided lamination and encapsulated/double sided. An offshoot of the lamination process is that it makes prints more rigid.

Lamination is suitable for:

  • Outdoor signage that is at ground level and in the general public’s route.
  • Vehicle Graphics/Signwriting.
  • Outdoor prints that require increased UV Resistance.  Up to 4 years with 3M vinyl and matching laminate.
  • Double sided lamination adds rigidity and strength to prints. This is ideally suited to plans/ tech drawings, etc.

Insta 138 Heat Press

The Insta 138 is an industrial heat press.  We use the Insta for the following:

  • Cutting transfer material in one colour.  We then press this onto shirts, etc.  We did the Black Caps shirts using this process.  The material is extremely thin and natural feeling, as well being long life
  • Print and cut transfer material for multi-colour or photographic images.  The images are then pressed onto shirts, etc.  Great quality.  We produced the shirts for the LA Galaxy's recent soccer match in Auckland.

This gives the advantage of being able to do short runs of t-shirts. Bring your photo or design and we will print this onto your shirt or fabric for you.
