Lamination and Encapsulation at Studio22
At Studio22 we use lamination to protect our printed products from damage, dirt, moisture and to retain the integrity and colour fastness. Studio22 offers a selection of lamination options on site. Hot encapsulation and cold or hot lamination.

The difference:
Encapsulation is the popular method most people are familiar with in the home or office. Encapsulation entails two layers of lamination film on either side of the product. The product is placed between the two sheets (or rolls of material) and fed through hot rollers to seal them and bond with the product. It is usually delivered with a sealed edge around the product where the back and front sides of the lamination material bonds.
Lamination is rolled onto one side of the product and usually has a backing paper which needs to be removed before the product can be used in the next stage.
Dimensions:
Over and above the many small products we produce internally, we are able to laminate prints up to a width of 1m and to lengths in excess of 5m.
Popular products to laminate:
Maps, bookmarks, collages, photographs, important documents, menus, calendars, price lists, posters, signs and Point of Sale signage.

What Our Clients Say
I can highly recommend Studio22. My print came out amazing. Communication from Facebook, to emails, and face-to-face has been excellent. A HUGE thank you to Yumna. You have been super professional and managed to get my print done within 1 day of payment as it was urgent. All while being in a nationwide lockdown. One very happy customer who will be using Studio22 again! Thank you!
