Wide laminating for prints up to about 24 inches wide

Protect posters, menus, maps, charts, signs, and reference sheets with a clean sealed finish.

Star MailHub and More laminates oversized prints for businesses, schools, restaurants, events, offices, training rooms, job sites, and anyone who needs a large piece to hold up to repeated handling.

Width is the key limit. Our laminator accepts material up to 25 inches wide, but a practical finished document should usually be no wider than about 24 inches so the film has room to seal around the edges.

Size and sealing limits

The printed piece needs room around the edges for the laminate to close properly.

Maximum Machine Width

The laminator accepts material up to 25 inches wide.

Practical Document Width

About 24 inches wide is a more realistic maximum when a sealed edge is required.

Length

Length is generally flexible. Width is the main production limit.

Edge Allowance

We review the border needed around the print before running the piece.

Bring the Print — Or Let Us Print It

Start with a finished piece or send the file and have us handle both steps.

  • Bring a clean, flat printed piece
  • Send a print-ready PDF
  • Choose the final printed size
  • Tell us how the piece will be used
  • Specify the border you want left around the edge
  • Request one piece or a matching batch

Originals require judgment.

Lamination is permanent and involves heat, pressure, and adhesive film. For one-of-a-kind artwork, photographs, certificates, fragile originals, or anything irreplaceable, we review the risk before proceeding.

In many cases, the safer choice is to laminate a high-quality copy rather than the original.

Finish and use

The right setup depends on whether the piece will be displayed, wiped down, mounted, or handled repeatedly.

Everyday Protection

For prints that need better resistance to fingerprints, light spills, humidity, and repeated use.

Wall or Counter Display

For posters, signs, menus, and reference materials that need a cleaner finished appearance and more rigidity.

High-Touch Use

For pieces that need to be wiped, handled, moved, or reused regularly without wearing out quickly.

How it works

Send the file or bring the print, then confirm the size, use, and edge requirements.

Send the file

Upload the PDF or bring the finished print to the store.

Confirm the finished size

Tell us the document width, length, quantity, and whether trimming is needed.

Explain the use

Display, menu, training aid, job-site reference, wipeable surface, or repeated handling.

We review the piece

We check width, edge allowance, material, condition, finish, and production risk.

Laminate and pick up

We complete the project and notify you when the finished pieces are ready.

Turnaround and batching

Wide laminating is quick to run, but setup, film use, and workload still matter.

Standard Turnaround

Many single-piece and small-batch jobs can be completed by the next business day after review.

Minimums

Wide laminating may carry a minimum charge because each run requires material, setup, warm-up, and trimming.

Flexible Timing

If the project is not urgent, batching with other work may be an option. Larger quantities and mixed sizes are quoted with a realistic turnaround.

Wide laminating FAQs

Common questions before bringing in a piece.

How wide can you laminate?

The machine accepts material up to 25 inches wide. A document up to about 24 inches wide is the safer practical limit when edge sealing is required.

Can the piece be longer than 25 inches?

Yes. Length is generally flexible. Width is the main limitation.

Does lamination protect both sides?

Yes. The film encloses both surfaces and seals around the edges when enough border is available.

Can you print the item first?

Yes. Send a print-ready file and specify the finished size, paper, quantity, and intended use.

Can you laminate artwork or photographs?

Sometimes. We review the material and whether the piece is replaceable. A copy is often safer than laminating the original.

Can the laminated piece be trimmed?

Yes, but trimming too close can break the seal. Tell us the final edge preference before production.

Ready to protect a poster, menu, map, chart, sign, or oversized reference sheet?

Send the file or bring the printed piece. Include the finished size, quantity, intended use, edge preference, and deadline. We will review the project and confirm whether it is a good fit for wide laminating.
