About this series
This series carries our cold lamination films for finishing printed labels and photos: clear protective films that laminate at room temperature with a hand roller or laminator — no heat, no special equipment.
Two constructions cover the two jobs. MTLG is a medium-tack clear PVC gloss film — the everyday choice for sealing printed labels and photos, deepening color and adding scuff and moisture resistance. HTLM is the high-tack matt version: a stronger grip for demanding surfaces, with a glare-free matt face that suits scan-heavy label duty and a premium look.
Both come in 50 m rolls slit to seven widths from 5 cm to 61 cm, so the film matches the label web or photo format instead of being trimmed from an oversized roll.
Key features
- Cold lamination — protects prints at room temperature with a roller or cold laminator; no heat damage risk to dye and inkjet prints.
- Two constructions for two duties: MTLG medium-tack gloss for everyday sealing, HTLM high-tack matt for demanding surfaces and glare-free finishes.
- Seven slit widths from 5 cm to 61 cm — buy the width of the job, waste less film.
- Clear PVC face deepens printed color in gloss and keeps it readable in matt.
- 50 m rolls suit both hand finishing and small lamination stations.

Common questions
Gloss or matt — which should I pick?
MTLG gloss deepens color and gives the classic sealed-label look. HTLM matt kills glare — better under bright retail lighting and for barcode scanning — and its high-tack adhesive grips difficult surfaces harder.
Why cold lamination instead of hot?
No heat means no risk to heat-sensitive prints — dye inkjet output, photos and thin films laminate flat without curling or color shift, using nothing more than a hand roller.
Where are the printable label films?
The printable media this series used to describe — the LMP and TMP coded films — are catalogued under the Automotive Printing Media series. This series carries the protection films that finish those prints.
Which width should I order?
Match the web or print width: 5–20 cm widths suit label webs and small runs, 30–61 cm cover photo formats and sheet work. Same film, seven slit options.
