Encapsulation

Encapsulation is the process of covering and sealing printed paper or board with a tough waterproof plastic film. This gives a professional looking finish and helps to strengthen the encapsulated item, potentially improving its useful life and waterproofing. Common uses for encapsulated sheets include maps, menus, catalogues, sales presenters, display graphics, ID badges and many others.

Lamination

Lamination is the process of applying a thin layer of plastic film to paper or card sheets to enhance and protect the printed matter. There are two main types of lamination material, gloss or matt.

Matt Lamination

Matt lamination gives an elegant and sophisticated finish, which is why it is a common choice for many. The texture of a matt laminate is velvety, which makes it a pleasant handling experience for many users and easy to read for signs and displays.

Gloss Lamination

Gloss lamination is often a popular choice. Text and pictures appear crisper and sharper, whilst also having more contrast. Gloss lamination also is a durable choice as dirt, dust and fingerprints can be removed with ease. Gloss lamination can enhance colour on your prints.

The rule with lamination is that gloss can brighten up your print whereas matt lamination will mute the colours slightly. Whether one or the other is better is purely subjective.

Soft Touch lamination and recycled options are also available to order.
