Encapsulated

Sheet encapsulation is usually used to add strength and durability to the final product. Just upload your Word or PDF document and we will turn it into an excellent quality encapsulated document. You can order from one or two, to a million copies, whatever it is you need! Each one of our resistant sheets is made to ensure the highest quality and finish of your product.

What is encapsulation?

Encapsulation is the process of covering a printed sheet with a rigid strong plastic which provides extra protection and durability. This means encapsulation will make your documents water resistant. It involves covering both sides of the printed sheet with plastic and securing it with a sealed plastic border. Because of this, it’s perfect for menus, signs, placemats or anything you wish to place outdoors. Perfect for any product that is going to be regularly handled or needs extra coverage.

Difference between Lamination and Encapsulation

• Encapsulation:  It’s the process of applying a waterproof, durable plastic film to the surface. Covering the paper on both sides with a 3-5mm plastic border to provide a protective coating.
• Lamination: It’s the process of covering (but not encapsulating) paper or card with a thin layer of plastic. Trimmed to the edge, it enhances the item but it is NOT waterproof.

If you do not require a border or a weatherproof solution we recommend you check our poster lamination option. In sizes A0, A1, A2, A3 and A4.

What can I use it for?

For menus, maps, placemats, signage and more. We will print, encapsulate and deliver to wherever you need it!
