Lamination, in relation to the creation of books, is a clear coating that is commonly applied to a book's outer cover for its protection and visual presentation.
Types of Lamination
Glossy
Glossy lamination, as its name suggests, provides a shiny finish. Aside from its aesthetic purposes, its relative water resistance is also sometimes used to add a higher level of durability to books.
Semigloss
This form of lamination allows for a subtler level of shine as opposed to glossy lamination. Semigloss is also sometimes referred to as "satin".
Matte
Matte lamination offers a non-reflective surface for a subtle look.
Spot Gloss
Spot gloss is an addition to a base lamination that can be used to add a reflective sheen to specific elements of a book cover.[1]
