Lamination and Encapsulation in Ashford, from ID Cards to A0 Plans
Lamination is the cheapest way to make a printed document last, and at our Ashford workshop it is usually done while you wait. Pouch lamination covers individual items from ID-card size up to A3 in 80, 100, 150 or 250 micron pouches, gloss or matt, which suits certificates, menus, notices and reference cards. Roll lamination handles A2, A1, A0 and wider prints in one seamless pass, so posters, plans and exhibition graphics get the same protection as a single sheet.
The finish is a real choice rather than a default. Gloss makes colour pop, matt gives a non-reflective surface for a smarter look, and anti-glare is the one to pick for documents that will be read under strong lighting. Where a laminated sheet still has exposed paper edges, encapsulation seals the document on all four sides so no water can get in, which is why it is the right option for outdoor signage, wipe-clean menus, maps and site plans that live in a van or on a wall for months.
Large-format lamination can be combined with mounting on foam board or rigid board for presentation and site use. Bring a single menu in, or send a batch of training manuals, site plans or display posters ahead; most lamination jobs are completed the same day. We have been finishing print in Ashford since 1990.
Gloss, Matt & Anti-Glare
Three finish options to suit your application. Gloss for impact, matt for elegance, anti-glare for readability under lights.
Pouch & Roll Lamination
Pouch lamination for individual documents up to A3. Roll lamination for larger and higher-volume jobs.

Most lamination jobs can be completed while you wait or within the same day. Bring your documents in or send them ahead.
