Encapsulating

Enhance the appearance of your print and protect the surface against wear and tear. Polyester film is applied to both sides of a paper sheet as it is fed through heated rollers. The heat activates the adhesive and bonds the film to the paper. The finished piece has a sealed lip of film around the sheets edges which provide durability. Adhesion of film can be risky in areas of heavy ink coverage, however with our complimentary testing, we ensure a good result for the final product.

FILM OPTIONS

Gauges: 3mil, 5mil, or 10mil

Finish: Gloss or Matte

Finishing Options: Trimming, Hole Punching, or Corner Rounding

FINISHING OPTIONS
TRIMMING: If you have a large quantity of sheets with multiple documents up on a page, we can trim them for you before or after encapsulation.

HOLE PUNCHING: After encapsulating, this feature is often used to allow for wearing of badges, name tags, passes, etc. We also offer lanyards for sale to accompany this service.

CORNER ROUNDING: After encapsulation, corner rounding produces a more refined finished product. The standard rounding options are 1/8" and 1/4".
