• Switch ON both heaters, set the temperatures (see the specifications of the
materials used) and allow ample time to reach the set temperature.
• Set the upper pull roller in the upper position before webbing and lock it in position.
• The procedure is the same as the double-sided lamination above.
5.5.6 Over-lamination
After an image is mounted to a panel, a protective laminate can be applied. This over-
laminate can be a heat activated laminate or a pressure sensitive adhesive with release
liner.
• This process is the same as to pre-coating a board.
5.5.7 Decaling
When decaling, a laminate is put over the image side and an adhesive backing is put on
the backside of the image.
• The process is the same as double-sided lamination.
This decal can later be mounted onto a panel or other substrate.
Figure shows the cross section of the layers in the decal process. In this process the
largest number of layers is possible.

Decaling in general is a cold process, where the bottom layer has no release liner. The
removable paper or film (6 = release liner) is not removed during the decal process. The
carrier (5) is not always present. In this case the removable paper or film (6) also functions
as carrier.
The top layer is a normal pressure sensitive laminate, in this case with a release liner.
Heat activated laminates in general have no release liners (4), so they just consist of the
laminate (2) with a heat activated adhesive layer (3).
