Hi
Describing a book jacket (dust jacket, dust cover, cover...):
"Relié sous jaquette pelliculée"
I imagine this as a (perhaps glossy) film on the cover but can't find an accepted printing term.
Expert advice much appreciated, thank you!

: Whatever GDT says, lamination is gluing two substrates together (eg a 1/s coated and a board, for making washing powder packets etc). "Pelliculage" is the application of a film to protect a substrate or a printed sheet

: Or plasticized / thanks for your support Kashew. I spent 25 years in paper & printing, and I will never use "laminated" where "plastified" is more accurate, but people have every right to use the terms they prefer ...

I don't wish to be (even more) boring, but "laminated" in this instance is imprecise: it's the same as translating "canard à l'orange" by "cooked duck".
All plastified documents are indeed "laminated", but not all laminated documants are plastified, and it is misleading to use "laminated" where "plastified" is meant.
But it's not my problem, I suppose ...
