9 GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Decal

An image that has been laminated on top (either heat-activated or pressure-sensitive) with an adhesive backing.

Heat-Activated Laminates

Laminates with a dry adhesive that is activated when heat is applied. Once applied to an image the adhesive forms a strong bond adhering the laminate and the image together.

In-Feed

The side of the laminator from which images are fed.

Leader Board

A piece of foam board (about 4’ x 2 inches) used to push films into the nip. Also used for mounting or pre-coating boards to prevent adhesive from getting onto the rollers and sealing edges.

Mil

Refers to the thickness of the laminate in 1/1000ths of an inch.

Mounting

Applying an image onto some kind of foam board or substrate.

Nip

The spot where the top and bottom rollers meet.

Out-Feed

The side of the laminator from which completed images emerge.

Pre-Coating

The process of coating a substrate with an adhesive mounting film onto which and image can be mounted.

Press

The amount of force in distance put on anything that passes between the top and bottom rollers. Normally a press of .025 is sufficient.

Pressure-Sensitive Laminates

Laminates with a wet adhesive, which forms a bond between the protective laminate and the surface of the image being laminated. Used primarily for fast mounting applications and recommended for heat-sensitive thermal and photographic prints.

Release Liner

The backing on a pressure-sensitive laminate or mounting adhesive. After peeling the release liner off, the adhesive layer becomes exposed.

Sled (Carrier Board)

A piece of smooth, non-crushable board (preferably Masonite) coated with a mounting adhesive and leaving the release liner on to provide the necessary non-stick surface. A piece of foam board can also be used, but it will not have the longevity of the Masonite board. Sleds are used when laminating one side of an image only.

Substrate

The material to which an image is mounted or affixed.
