Does a lamination film exist rough texture

[Amber Murray]

Hi all,

I am wondering if there is a laminating film that will give the printed material a rough feel. I have a sample of Drytac's Sand Laminate but that is way smoother than I'm looking for. I want to feel big bumps or something like that.

Any ideas?
Thanks so much!

yes!
we've used a few different kinds - 'textured/embossed' laminates.. we've been using them for our floor graphics... we are NOT using the cheapest materials out there, just fyi - they've been vetted through our University's office of Disability Resources, so I'm sure there are much more cost-effective options out there..

We've tried the following:
- ORAGUARD 250AS (https://www.grimco.com/Catalog/Product/O250AS-54)
- Briteline OLFL309 (https://www.grimco.com/Catalog/Product/OLFL-30954)
- GF Concept 213 Traffic Graphic (https://www.grimco.com/Catalog/Products/GFCONCEPT213TRAFFICGRAPHIC)
**we are currently using the GF Concept, and it performs nicely, and had a nice texture to it.

Hope this helps, and happy printing!

also, depends on if you're using indoor or outdoor application. the ones i mentioned above are for indoor. There are honestly tons of options - I think the key words of embossed texture, or i've heard some called 'pebble' texture.

Substance has a 6 mil textured laminate that works well.
