Cold laminating film: a technological shield to protect memories
Cold laminating film, as the name suggests, is a non-heating method to attach a thin film to the surface of the photo to form a protective layer. This seemingly thin film actually contains a powerful function to protect photos from external damage. First of all, cold laminating film can effectively isolate air and moisture. Oxygen in the air is one of the main causes of photo oxidation, while moisture may cause photos to become damp and deformed. The sealing effect of cold laminating film is like an invisible barrier that isolates photos from the adverse environment outside, greatly reducing the risk of fading caused by oxidation or moisture.

Slow down fading and retain color
Although cold laminating film cannot completely block the penetration of ultraviolet rays, it still plays a significant role in slowing down the fading of photos. Ultraviolet rays are one of the main culprits that destroy the color and texture of photos. Even the best photos will gradually lose their original brightness when exposed to the sun for a long time. By applying cold laminating film, although it cannot completely block ultraviolet rays, it can reduce the chance of them directly irradiating the surface of the photo to a certain extent, thereby slowing down the fading speed. This means that even as time goes by, photos protected by cold laminating film can still retain their original colors and details relatively intact, making memories more vivid and fresh.

The wisdom of selection and application
Choosing the right cold laminating film is also crucial. There are many types of cold laminating films on the market, from materials to transparency, thickness, and even whether they have anti-scratch and anti-reflective properties. Consumers should choose according to the type of photos (such as black and white photos, color photos), storage environment (such as whether they are frequently flipped through, whether they are placed in direct sunlight), and personal preferences. For example, for photos that need to be stored for a long time and want to maintain the highest color reproduction, cold laminating films with high transparency and strong anti-aging properties should be selected; for albums that need to be flipped through frequently, you can consider adding a scratch-resistant layer to reduce daily wear and tear.

When applying cold laminating film, professional operating skills are also the key to ensuring the effect. Incorrect lamination methods may cause problems such as bubbles and wrinkles, affecting the appearance and weakening the protective effect. Therefore, it is recommended that beginners seek help from professionals when trying for the first time, or use a cold laminating machine with automatic exhaust function to ensure that every inch of the photo can be evenly and tightly covered.
