SwiftPro L10 Holographic Laminates

What Are Secure Over Laminates?

Secure over laminates are thin, transparent (or customised) films applied over the surface of a printed plastic card. Using the L10’s inline lamination process, these films are heat-bonded to the card after printing, creating a strong, durable seal.

They serve multiple essential purposes:

• Protection: Defend against scratches, fading, moisture, and daily handling damage
• Extended lifespan: Significantly increase the usable life of ID cards
• Security enhancement: Add visual or covert features to deter fraud and tampering
• Professional finish: Deliver a high-quality, polished appearance
