What Is the Difference Between Laminating and Encapsulation?
Although the terms are often used interchangeably, there is a slight difference.
Laminating
Laminating seals a protective film directly onto the printed sheet.
This creates a smooth, durable finish and is ideal for documents that need regular handling.
Encapsulation
Encapsulation surrounds the document with a clear plastic border, sealing it completely.
This method provides additional protection and is particularly useful for posters, plans and materials exposed to challenging environments.
If you’re unsure which option is best, our team will be happy to advise.
