Laminating & Coating
To enhance durability, as standard, all mounted displays are laminated with either a gloss or matt finish. Our laminates are guaranteed outdoors up to 5 years. Unmounted prints (posters) can also be laminated to create a gloss or matt finish (not to be confused with encapsulation).
