RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ROLLING AND SHIPPING LAMINATED IMAGES:
MACtac studies and field surveys with numerous customers using Permacolor® laminates in rolled-up graphic
applications, leads to the following recommendations for rolling and shipping laminated images:
1. Prior to rolling graphics:
a) A 2 - 4 hour wet-out period is strongly recommended for the adhesive system to build to ultimate
adhesion. This will significantly improve your success with rolled-up graphics.
b) This product can be used over UV inkjet and screen printed images. However, extra wet-out time is
required to reduce silvering and build bond prior to rolling.
2. For single-side laminated images:
a) Roll laminated side in for shipping and storage.
b) An inside roll diameter of 3 - 5 inches, minimum, is recommended for graphics with less than 10 mil
total graphic thickness (includes imaged media and Permacolor overlaminates).
c) For images with a total thickness of 10 mils or greater an inside roll diameter of 10 - 12 inches,
minimum, is recommended.
3. For images laminated on both front and back sides:
a) Roll images with the thicker laminate to the inside for shipping and storage. For example: if your
image has 5 or 10 mil polycarbonate or vinyl on the front and 15 mil Polycarbonate on the back (for
additional stiffness), roll the graphic with the 15 mil PermaFlex® side in.
b) All double laminated images should be rolled with an inside roll diameter of 10 - 12 inches minimum.
Remember that a larger inside diameter is better.
Please keep in mind that this is a recommendation, individual experience should not be discounted. We
recognize that different laminators and laminating methods may produce different results. The
recommendations above represent our experience as having the “greatest” success in the field.
1) The user is responsible for determining the product’s suitability, including adhesion and if
