Oracal UV Laminating Film for Printable Vinyl – Oraguard 236
Oracal Oraguard 236 is a printable vinyl laminate film that can be used to cover any inkjet vinyl project. This clear film provides a glossy finish as well as protection against UV rays, frequent handling and inclement weather.
*This laminate is a low grade material and sometimes comes with scratches from the manufacturer. If this concerns you, please consider upgrading to the Oraguard 210 laminate.
Description
Inkjet printable vinyl requires special manufacturing processes to allow the vinyl to accept standard printer inks. Because of this, they do not have the same colorfastness and resistance to wear and tear that long-term adhesive vinyls like Oracal 651 typically have.
To help with this, Oracal has created Oraguard 236*, which is a professional-grade laminate film that provides extra durability and protection to any inkjet-printed vinyl designs.
This film works on all printable vinyl. When applied correctly, it can help prevent all of the following:
- Color fade due to UV damage
- Ink bleed from moisture or humidity
- Ink smears from frequent handling
- Loss of clarity over time
Although this material is recommended to hand-wash, it works for drinkware personalization projects. It can also be used on car decals, window vinyls, indoor projects, ceramic mugs and stainless steel tumblers.
