Choose your level of protection
From A8 to A0 we offer a range of different encapsulation depending on the type of print and its use. All our films prolong the life of your print while at the same time enhancing its look and feel.
Encap Pro ‘Intensify’ (42 micron)
Min. paper weight 200gsm
Our lightest film seals and enhances the vibrancy of colours. An ultra-thin film that maintains the flexibility of print when creasing or folding but with a protective barrier that can protect print for up to 3 years.
Encap Pro ‘Protect’ (75 micron)
Min. paper weight 200gsm
Our lightweight film protects and strengthens print by increasing its rigidity while still allowing creasing and folding. Create print that is stronger and doesn’t ‘dog ear’ while also providing advanced protection for up to 5 years.
Encap Pro ‘Shield’ (125 micron)
Min. paper weight 150gsm
Our most popular encapsulation creates hard-wearing print that is shielded from almost any type of damage. Use this to create robust print that is protected for up to 10 years in wet or busy environments.
Encap Pro ‘Fortify’ (250 micron)
Min. paper weight 150gsm
Our heaviest encapsulation film (similar to credit card thickness) makes print rigid and impenetrable, even underwater. Use this to create ‘bullet-proof’ print that can survive anywhere for up to 20 years.

Finishes to suit your style.
Encapsulation doesn’t just protect your print; it also makes it look and feel better with a choice of finishes. Now your print is free to thrive, not just survive.
Gloss
Creates a reflective coating that makes colours vibrant and eye-catching. Choose gloss when you want a super-smooth surface to your encapsulated print.
Matte
Creates a silkier appearance free from shine. Choose matte when you want a light absorbent surface with more understated colours and a soft premium feel.
Ultra Matte
The ultimate luxury finish, ultra matte is designed for print that needs to convey a premium message and have the softest texture and appearance.

With or without borders. The choice is yours.
Encapsulation traditionally had borders but with today’s technology it doesn’t. You can still protect the print underneath from moisture and damage even when trimmed to the edge.
