High slip films feature a slick finish that allows laminated products to easily slide and stack on top of each other. High slip products are ideal for high speed automated lamination.

Mapped & Matched Polyester (Lay-Flat PET)
D&K is one of the few laminating film manufacturers that offers lay-flat (mapped and matched) polyester film roll pairs. All polyester films have an internal orientation that naturally occurs when the base film is manufactured. This orientation becomes extremely important when using two rolls of polyester film together in two-sided lamination. Mapped and matched polyester is recommended for applications where flatness is critical, such as cards, IDS, and more.

D&K uses a proprietary process to “map and match” polyester films so they lay perfectly flat when used together. The internal film orientation is identified, and rolls are then paired up and labeled. Click here for more information about D&K’s polyester film map and matching process.
