The process of encapsulation one by which printed material is sealed in plastic. This involves applying two layers of plastic, one each side which bond to the material and have a seal around the edge. This edge seal prevents dirt, moisture etc from being able to penetrate the material.

The encapsulation comes in two different thicknesses, from thin for folding to heavy gauge for rigidity.

125 micron (Medium) This is the medium weight film and is most often used. It offers a good balance for durability and cost. This film is usually used for items such as leaflets, posters, instruction manuals, reference cards etc.

250 micron (Heavy) This is the thickest film and offers good durability. This is normally used for items such as credit cards, instruction cards that will be handled a lot and posters that will be moved about e.g. exhibitions.
