Our Laminating Options

Whether you need a flexible map to take into the field or a crisp print ready for display, we offer two distinct laminating weights to suit your project:

1. Foldable Ultra-Thin Laminate (Ideal for Maps & Field Use)

Our specialized thin-gauge roll laminate provides water-resistant, tear-proof protection while preserving complete flexibility.

  • Foldable up to A0 Size: Perfect for topographic maps, marine charts, and trail guides that need to pack down easily into your pack or glovebox without cracking at the folds.  Popular with Defence members and bushwalkers.

  • All-Weather Durability: Keeps your outdoor maps fully protected against rain, mud, and heavy handling.

2. Heavy-Duty Flat Laminate (Ideal for Posters, Prints & Display)

Designed for prints, wall maps, and posters intended to stay flat and smooth for long-term mounting or hanging.

  • Maximum Rigid Protection: Adds structural stiffness to prevent creasing, tearing, and surface damage.

  • Clean, Flat Finish: Keeps large-format artwork and plans crisp and presentable for display in homes, offices, or commercial spaces.

Custom Finishes: Gloss & Matte

Both our thin-foldable and heavy-duty flat laminating options are available in two premium surface finishes:

  • Gloss Finish (Write-On / Wipe-Off Surface): High-clarity gloss that makes colors pop.  This is popular for maps used by Defence members, as our gloss laminate can be written on using whiteboard markers for temporary planning or permanent markers for fixed route marking and annotation.

  • Matte Finish (Non-Glare): Soft, anti-reflective finish that eliminates harsh light reflections under direct indoor lighting or outdoor sunlight – ideal for easy reading in high-glare environments.  This can also be written on with a pencil and erased with a normal eraser.
