laminable

Suitable for coating

Laminable describes something that can be laminated—covered with a protective plastic coating or bonded into layers.

Documents, photos, and ID cards are commonly laminable items that benefit from the durability lamination provides.

The term appears mainly in manufacturing and office supply contexts: Check whether your printer paper is laminable before running it through the machine.
