Does lamination change the thickness or feel of my prints?

Yes, lamination adds a small amount of thickness and noticeably more rigidity to a printed piece. Most people treat this as a benefit, since the extra body makes the material feel sturdier and more substantial in the hand.

• Added stiffness: the piece resists bending and curling, which helps items that get handled often.
• Slight thickness gain: the film layer is thin but measurable, giving cards and menus a premium heft.
• Protective surface: the same layer guards against fingerprints, spills, and scuffing.

The added structure is especially useful for menus, reference cards, and any piece that needs to survive frequent use without looking worn.
