Films are available in a broad range of thicknesses, providing protection from an array of damages. Our adhesive films can be easily and securely applied, and can be just as easily removed without leaving any adhesive residue. Choosing a Laminate Protective Film Different surfaces and applications require different types of protective films.

Adhesive type – This is the product identification number of the adhesive used to attach the surface protection film to the laminate. Tack – Measured in ounces per lateral inch, this defines the amount of adhesive used and the resulting “stickiness” of the laminate protective film. Because there are many variables at play, the tack level of most adhesives will be expressed as a range of values rather than a single, specific measurement. Film/Paper – This indicates the type of plastic or paper that the film is made of.
