Why would you laminate white vinyl?

[gabagoo]

I had a vehicle come in today and I had to strip off some logos on the side. Everything was white and I cringed thinking that I would be out in the heat with a heat gun and very slow work. The stripping was easy, no heat gun needed. Everything once you lifted an edge came off clean, no glue residue. It was all digital wrap film. I noticed that in some areas I noticed the laminate was flaking off the letters in place and thought to myself....Why would you laminate white vinyl?

Because it's easier to apply when it's laminated. And apparently, easy to take off. We are wrapping a bus and the front of it is all wrapped in white vinyl. We laminated all the white.

Maybe whoever did it used scrap white from a print job they had to laminate.

I'm lost here, if it is plotted vinyl, wrap material or not, wouldn't you have pre-mask on it which would make laminate pretty pointless if your purpose was to make it easier to install.
Maybe they had extra space on a print/cut job and threw it in with it or was scrap like already said.
