Tech Tips                                                         Too much tension?

Not getting to result you want? Curly? Warped? Ripples?

A common problem in all kinds of laminating is too much tension/brake being applied to the film. Apart from excessive strain on your laminator, the quality of your product is most likely suffering as well.

Where possible laminating film needs to be applied naturally, which means minimal tension. This reduces the surface tension of the finished product resulting in less curl, no chance of distortion, less scratching and shrinking at a later date.

A simple rule to follow is, whenever practical, remove tension when making adjustments to curl or finish. Usually too much tension is placed on film when it is first set up to get the film to ‘settle’ then once it has settled this excess tension is not removed. Also remember as the roll of film reduces in diameter through use, the tension increases.

So just remember once your laminator is set up remove as much tension as possible and you will produce great laminating.

Matt's Wrap

Last month Brisbane was the place to be with all the latest wide format technology on show.

Visual Impact Brisbane was held at the Convention Centre from the 10th -12th April. It was great to see a good turnout both of both exhibitors and visitors proving there is confidence within our industry. Strong brands dominated with the American and European products underlining the fact that quality is the key.

The Wrapmasters Challenge continued with four teams contesting the QLD round. SS Signs claimed victory wrapping an entire car to a stunning standard in under 3 hours, quite amazing. They will be tough to beat come the Final at Visual Impact Sydney in September. See you there...
