The IDP 653629 Clear 1mil Patch Laminate film is designed for use with IDP Smart-81L laminating printers. This laminate, also known as an overlaminate, adds a protective layer to printed cards, enhancing their durability and safeguarding them from wear and fading. Unlike full-coverage laminates, the 653629 patch laminate leaves the outer edge of an ID card unlaminated, but it is thicker and more robust. At 1 mil thick, the IDP 653629 Clear Patch Laminate provides the highest possible laminate density for added strength.
