Duraprint vs Lamination
For many projects, Duraprint can be a more cost-effective and practical alternative to lamination.
From construction sites to classrooms, Duraprint delivers a durable, long-lasting finish without the additional time and cost of laminating. Available in 160gsm and 260gsm options, it provides a professional, premium appearance while maintaining excellent strength and stability.
Why choose Duraprint over lamination?
- Tear and water resistant
- Easy to write on and erase with pencil
- No additional finishing required
- Faster turnaround time
- Cost effective - pay for the print only!
- Won't peel, bubble or separate over time
