Laminated Photo Prints

Laminated photo prints

A laminated print has a thin protective layer over the photo, which resists fingerprints, light moisture and the wear that comes from being handled. These 15 products give you that finish in every common size, from a pocket-friendly 4 × 6 inch to a large 10 × 15 inch.

The sizes

You can order 4 × 6, 5 × 7, 6 × 8, 8 × 10, 8 × 12, 10 × 12 and 10 × 15 inch, and the main sizes are available in both portrait and landscape orientation, such as 8 × 6 or 6 × 8. That matters when you are ordering for a particular frame, because the print must match the shape of the photo. Landscape photos suit 6 × 4, 7 × 5, 8 × 6, 12 × 8 and 15 × 10 inch, and portraits suit the same sizes turned upright.

Lamination suits prints that will be passed around, such as wedding or family photos on a coffee table, photos for a child's school project, or pictures that will go on a refrigerator or a notice board. If the print will go behind glass in a frame, the standard print is usually enough.
