ID-Mark protective film and varnish
ID-Mark markings can be protected by applying a protective film or a transparent varnish, which forms a clear layer applied after printing.
These protective films and varnishes ensure enhanced durability by increasing the marking’s resistance to UV rays, humidity, abrasion, and chemical products, while maintaining optimal legibility in demanding outdoor or industrial environments.
They also help prevent scratches that may occur during the handling or installation of the plates.
Depending on requirements and exposure conditions, the protection is available in two forms: transparent varnish or adhesive plastic film.
Under normal conditions of use, ID-Mark plates do not require special protection. However, for applications in harsh environments (frequent abrasion, extreme weather conditions, outdoor use), the use of a protective film or varnish is strongly recommended.
All protective films can be applied by hand without specific equipment. For greater convenience and precision, a manual laminator can be offered as an accessory.

– gloss: recommended if the finished product is to be hung or used directly in sunlight. It contains a UV inhibitor and also protects against moisture and abrasion. Glossy finish
– matte: intended for applications requiring a flat, non-reflective surface. It also protects against moisture and abrasion.
– “Velvet” Polycarbonate: provides a “grained” appearance. It ensures excellent protection against abrasion and moisture. The film has a finish similar to Lexan. It is used in industrial applications.
