Commercial finishing terms of service.

Plainspoken B2B trade finishing standards governing customer-supplied press sheets, make-ready spoilage, blind shipping, Texas Form 01-339 tax exemption, and our 90-Day Adhesion Warranty.

1. Scope of Trade Finishing Services

Lamination Services, Inc. (Salado, Bell County, Texas) provides custom thermal roll and pouch film encapsulation, corner rounding, hole/slot punching, and blind drop-shipping on customer-supplied printed paper and synthetic sheets. See our 1.5–10 mil specification matrix for stock pairing standards.

2. Customer-Supplied Press Sheets & Spoilage Allowance

Commercial calender make-ready requires bringing heated rollers, web tension, and adhesive nip pressure into equilibrium. Customers should supply 2% overs (minimum 5 extra sheets on runs under 250 sheets). Per printing-trade custom (PIA/GATF Trade Customs), Lamination Services’ liability for damaged customer-supplied sheets is limited to 100% refund or re-run of our finishing charges unless a separate written press-value rider is executed prior to production.

3. Pre-Run Digital Toner & Ink Cure Readiness

Sheets with heavy rich-black toner (>220% TAC) or oxidative offset inks should cure 24 hours prior to lamination and avoid silicone or carnauba wax slip additives (see our digital silvering engineering guide). Include 3 marked test sheets on heavy-coverage runs for our complimentary pre-run wet-out Stop-Gate check.

4. 90-Day Optical Bond & Delamination Warranty

Finished sheets stored and used under normal commercial conditions are warranted against optical silvering, blistering, and edge peel for 90 days from shipment. Defective finishing will be re-laminated on replacement press sheets at $0 charge (with standard ground freight covered both ways within the continental United States) or credited up to 100% of invoice value.

5. White-Label Blind Shipping & Non-Compete Covenant

When blind drop-shipping is selected, shipments leave in neutral kraft cartons bearing your designated shipper name and packing slip. Lamination Services never solicits, markets to, or discloses pricing to a trade partner’s end buyer.

6. Payment, Texas Resale Certificates & Optional SMS Updates

Texas resellers claiming sales-tax exemption must maintain a signed Texas Comptroller Form 01-339 on file. Out-of-state deliveries are taxed per destination nexus law. Optional SMS production alerts are never required as a condition of purchase; reply STOP anytime to cancel or HELP for assistance.
