Enhance every laminated project with GBC Nap-Lam II Premium Roll Film, a polyester-based thermal film engineered for low-temperature operation, superior adhesion, and remarkable clarity. This film is designed to deliver crisp details, bright colors, and a professional finish on coated and glossy papers, even when ink coverage is heavy. With two 25" rolls per box, each measuring 500 feet in length, Nap-Lam II provides a dependable, long-lasting solution for schools, offices, photo studios, and print shops that demand consistent results across a wide range of applications. Its straightforward loading design and 1" core simplify setup, helping you maintain productivity without sacrificing quality.

• Low-temperature, high-clarity lamination: Nap-Lam II is engineered to run at a lower processing temperature, reducing heat-related distortion and preserving sharp typography, photo details, and vibrant colors. This means you get a clean, glare-free finish that's ideal for documents with fine lines, small text, or dense ink coverage, even on glossy substrates where glare can otherwise wash out details.
• Premium polyester-based film with strong adhesion: Constructed from a durable polyester layer, Nap-Lam II delivers robust adhesion across coated papers and surfaces with heavy ink. The result is durable edge-to-edge bonding that resists peeling and delamination, helping your laminated pieces withstand handling, bending, and routine wear in busy environments.
• Clear film with enhanced optical quality: The film maintains excellent clarity, preserving the original brightness and contrast of your images. Its optical properties help prevent hazing or yellowing over time, ensuring photos, charts, and graphics stay true to color and detail for longer.
• Easy loading and reliable packaging: Featuring a basic loading design and a 1" core, Nap-Lam II streams smoothly through standard laminators. Each box contains two 25" x 500' rolls, giving you ample supply for ongoing projects and minimizing downtime spent reloading film during larger workloads.
• Value and versatility for diverse applications: With a generous 500-foot roll length and 25" width, Nap-Lam II is well-suited for educational displays, signage, posters, presentation materials, and archival-grade laminations. The combination of low-temperature performance, high clarity, and strong adhesion makes it a versatile choice for any laminator setup where quality matters.

how to install GBC Nap-Lam II Premium Roll Film

• Confirm compatibility with your laminator model and verify the film width (25 inches) fits your feed path before opening the package. Remove packing materials and prepare the two rolls for loading according to the laminator’s manual.
• Follow the basic loading design to thread the film through the feed path and nip area, ensuring a smooth, kink-free route from roll to platen for consistent lamination results.
• Set the laminator to the recommended lower temperature range to maximize adhesion and minimize substrate distortion or edge curl, especially with glossy or high-ink-content media.
• Run a test sheet to verify film alignment, tension, and bonding performance. If necessary, adjust feed speed, nip pressure, or cooling time to achieve even coverage and a clean laminate.
• Laminate your final project, allowing the laminated sheet to cool flat before trimming. Use clean, sharp cutters to avoid chipping edges and ensure a professional edge finish.
