Hot Roll Laminating

Laminating is an inexpensive way to protect maps, drawings, aeronautical and nautical charts, the output from pen plotters, posters - in fact, just about anything. We use a 3-mil two-sided laminate which allows you to roll, or even fold your maps after they have been laminated. 1 mil = 0.0001 of an inch.

You can write on the laminate with water-based markers and remove the writing later, if you want, with a damp cloth. Don't use the dry-erase markers; they don't come off!

Our hot-roll laminating machine, one of the largest in Canada, can handle up to 59 inches wide and up to any length. Normally, if you get the piece in to us by 2 p.m., we'll have it ready for you that same day by 5 p.m. (This is for local orders only.)

Our laminating prices are very reasonable - only 40 cents CDN per running inch on the 59-inch width. For example, a 36" x 59"-piece would be charged for 36 running inches: 36" x .40= $14.40 CDN .

If you are purchasing maps online and would like to have them laminated, please indicate this in the comments field on the checkout page. Simply type "laminated map" followed by the name or item number of the map(s) you would like laminated. The cost of will be added once we have laminated the maps.
