Book Covers: UV Coating or Lamination
Although slightly more expensive than laminating for quantities under 1,000, uv coating provides a hgher finish quality. Lamination is done with heat/pressure and comes in gloss and matte finish. It is extremely durable. One word of caution for anyone considering matte lamination: this lamination is very soft and can scuff easily. The UV coating process gives an extremely high gloss hard finish that is chemical and abrasion resistant. UV coatings are solvent free and emit no VOCs (volatile organic compounds).
