Lamination is the technique/process of manufacturing a material in multiple layers, so that the composite material achieves improved strength, stability, sound insulation, appearance, or other properties from the use of the differing materials, such as plastic. A laminate is a layered object or material assembled using heat, pressure, welding, or adhesives.^[1] Various coating machines, machine presses and calendering equipment are used.

In particular, laminating paper in plastic makes it sturdy, waterproof, and erasable.
