Lamination FAQ
01. What is laminating?
Laminating is the process of placing two protective clear films over the front and back of the poster. The lamination provides protection against fingerprints, smudges or other items that can damage or fade the poster.
02. Can any poster be laminated?
Any poster can be laminated and it is an inexpensive way to protect the poster. However, laminating a poster is a permanent process and cannot be undone. So we recommend not laminating posters that are very valuable or are collectible in nature.
03. Can I frame a laminated poster?
Yes you can frame a laminated poster! This way you will have a poster that is protected both in or out of a frame.
04. What are the benefits of laminating a print or poster?
Laminating not only gives your poster a beautiful gloss finish, it also protects your poster from virtually anything that it could come in contact with. When framing is not an option, laminating your poster is the next best thing!
05. How are laminated items shipped?
If your poster is only laminated, it will most likely be shipped rolled to reduce the shipping cost to you.
06. Can I return a laminated item?
Sorry, no. The lamination process is unreversible. For this reason, we cannot accept returns on laminated posters and prints. Please be certain of any laminated items before completing your purchase.

07. What type of glass is used for the front face?
A special light diffusing acrylic backing and a front acrylic lining protect your poster from light damage and the elements. The poster is sandwiched between these two pieces without the use of tape or Velcro. Our tight fit assures no sagging in the poster as well. NO LIGHT SPILLING FROM THE EDGES OR FROM BEHIND. The acrylic used is free from blemishes and that holds its shape. The acrylic used is 1/8" thick on both the back and the front panel. It is a more expensive material, but it lasts lifetimes and resists crack and does not warp.
