Encapsulating Films

Gloss and Matt Encapsulating Films

High-quality encapsulating films available in gloss or matt finishes. Our premium low-melt encapsulating films enhance and protect your print media, available in a wide range of standard widths and film thicknesses. Our films range in thickness from 42 to 250 microns and in width from 230mm to 1,395mm.

Encapsulating films, also known as encasing or enclosing an item, are used in conjunction with a roll laminating machine. This cost-effective method protects large volumes of printed materials, making it ideal for items like posters, maps, wall charts, and documents. Once encapsulated with our films, the product is sealed on all sides, ensuring water and weather resistance.

Our films are widely used in various commercial applications to protect and enhance prints. They find applications in schools, colleges, building projects, print shops, universities, and hospitals, among others. Browse products below.

Additional Information

The Benefits of Encapsulation Film

Encapsulating films offer robust, all-round protection for printed materials. They seal the document entirely, safeguarding it from moisture, dirt, handling wear, and environmental exposure. This makes encapsulation ideal for frequently used or displayed items, as the fully enclosed finish prevents edge lifting and provides greater rigidity than standard lamination.

Gloss encapsulating films enhance print appearance by giving prints a bright, vibrant look, boosting colour saturation and contrast. Matt films, on the other hand, reduce reflections and glare, ensuring your prints remain clear, clean, and presentable for long-term use in various environments.
