Mounting, Laminating & plastification - Finishing Services

Lamination adds durability, protection and a professional finish to any printed piece. Here at Hana Art Studios, we offer several different types of lamination finishes and sizes. We have Lamination machines ranging from low cost 3M Laminators up to 36" Roll Laminators.

Mounting materials:
	Canvas mount - We can give your image a canvas texture by mounting it on canvas board or stretch canvas. The canvas stretch is what most people think of when they ask for canvas prints. The canvas is stretched over an artists frame just like a painter would use when painting a masterpiece. The canvas board has the canvas texture also but not the artists frame. The canvas board is less expensive and looks just as good when framed.
	Coroplast - (multi-coloured) Coroplast is a high-quality polypropylene twinwall profile sheet formulated specifically for use in the screen printing, display, and packaging markets. Coroplast uses a copolymer resin in order to increase impact and low temperature performance. Coroplast retains the ability to be flexed an unlimited number of times without breaking. Coroplast can be die-cut, scored, glued, stitched and ultrasonically welded.
	Gatorboard - Ultra Board is like Foam Board but with a plastic surface instead of a paper surface. Ultra Board is like Gator Board but with a plastic surface instead of a fiberglass surface. A heavy-duty, all-plastic foam board with high-impact litho-grade polystyrene surface and extruded polystyrene core. Perfect for signage, exibits, mouting and displays.
	Plywood - (Painted) A flat panel made up of a number of thin sheets, or veneers, of wood in which the grain direction of each ply, or layer, is at right angles to the one adjacent to it. The veneer sheets are united, under pressure, using a bonding agent. A good choice for large outdoor sign projects with multi panel murals.
	Showcard - (Raw finish) Showcard is the most economical of all mounting substrates. It's ideally suited for short-term single and double sided mounting projects. They are available in Black/White, Dull Silver/White, Shiny Silver/White, Dull Gold/White and Shiny Gold/White.
	Sintra/Plastic - (multi-coloured) Sintra board is a rigid plastic which can be worked like wood. It becomes soft and pliable when heated allowing it to be customized to your specific project. Sintra board comes in dark blue, dark red, bright yellow, green, blue, gray, light gray, white, beige, and black. A hard plastic material.
	Styrene/PVC - (Painted) PVC or polyvinyl chloride may be used indoor and outdoors. Its matte finish reduces glare and makes for easy readability. PVC can be shaped and is lightweight, tough, and rigid. It comes in multiple colors and thicknesses. It is an excellent product for trade shows signage, menu boards, point-of-purchase displays, and architectural graphics.
	Ultra Mount - Ultra Board is like Foam Board but with a plastic surface instead of a paper surface. Ultra Board is like Gator Board but with a plastic surface instead of a fiberglass surface. A heavy-duty, all-plastic foam board with high-impact litho-grade polystyrene surface and extruded polystyrene core. Perfect for signage, exibits, mouting and displays. Ultra Mount panels are lightweight but durable and will not warp or bow like other foam boards. The coated surface lets you reposition a print or vinyl lay-up without damaging the paper liner.
	FoamCore - Foamboard/Foamcore ( black or white) is a smooth flat surface, low cost display material for indoor display and signage. Easy to cut and customize it has Styrofoam sandwiched between the two flat surfaces hence it is used for short-term indoor signage. Foamcore is ideal for photo quality graphics or picture display. Foamboard/Foamcore comes in different thickness. The popular 3/16” thickness, 1/2” thickness, 3/4” thickness and 1” thickness. The board is installed by hanging on the wall using grommet inserts, suspend from the ceiling or on the window. You could also display it on the wall and other surfaces by Velcro applied to all 4 sides.
