 Lamination
Lamination is one best ways to protect your printed graphics. If you are going to use your graphic for more than a few times or a permanent display, you should laminate it. All of our laminates offer UV protection to extend the life of your print. The thicker the laminate the more durable.

Mounting
One of the most common questions we get asked is "What should I mount my graphic to?" To answer that we need to know how long you are going to use the graphic, what it will be used for, is it inside or outside, will it be in a protective frame, etc.
The table below gives a general idea of the durability/rigidity of various mounting boards. It is laid out least durable (top left) to most durable (bottom right), top to bottom, left to right.
