Perforated Vinyl Lamination

Hello, I’d appreciate your opinion on perf lams.
What’s your experience with laminating perforated decals? Will a laminated decal provide the same level of visibility as without lam? There are lams for perfs specifically but I still wonder if air bubbles store underneath when applied.

You need to use an "Optically clear" Overlaminate, and then yes... it'll provide the same visibility. If on a car, even better because rain wont get stuck in the holes.

It wont be bubble free when you install... So you have to press pretty hard. And it will leave nasty looking squeegee marks the customer is going to question... Thats the overlam sticking to the window through the holes. After 24 hours in the sun, those marks go away and it looks nicer, and is just as easy to see through.
