The Papers & Boards: Embossing, Laminating & Varnishing A1 poster is a vibrant and highly visual classroom resource designed to help students understand the specialist finishing techniques used in paper and card products. Covering embossing, laminating, varnishing and UV varnishing, this chart breaks down each process using clear explanations and supporting images that link theory to real-world manufacturing.

Important Update on Lamination:

We are transitioning to a new, thinner lamination as part of our supplier’s commitment to sustainable and cost-effective production. While you may receive a mix of older and newer laminations during this period, rest assured that both versions maintain the same high-quality standard you expect from Daydream Education.

We appreciate your feedback on the updated lamination to help us refine this change. Feel free to share your thoughts—we value your input!

Thank you for supporting our move towards more sustainable practices.
