Lamination protects your poster with a layer of thin, clear plastic to help prevent smears and wrinkles, giving it the added durability needed for repeated uses. If you plan to use your poster more than once then we highly recommend that you laminate your poster. Lamination can also give the poster a more finished look than plain paper alone.


 

For a display poster that needs to stand up on an easel we can mount your poster onto foamcore or gatorboard. Foamcore is a lightweight, white board good for short-term or limited handling. For long-term use where a lot of handling is expected we recommend Gatorboard. It is a black, more rigid board that can take more abuse.

Perimeter trim (a thin plastic frame) can also be applied to the edges to further protect the board and give it a framed look.
