Encapsulation PET Gloss 2″ Core

Encapsulation PET Gloss Film 2″ Core | High Clarity Encapsulation Film (UK)

Encapsulation PET Gloss Film (2″ Core) is a crystal-clear polyester-based film designed to fully encapsulate printed materials, providing maximum protection and a high-gloss, professional finish. Supplied on a compact 2″ (58mm) core, it is ideal for desktop and narrow-format laminators, making it perfect for smaller print runs and on-demand lamination.

Unlike standard lamination, encapsulation film seals the document completely between two layers, protecting it edge-to-edge from moisture, dirt, and handling damage.

Why Choose Encapsulation PET Gloss Film (2″ Core)?

• Full encapsulation protection – seals documents edge-to-edge for maximum durability
• High gloss finish – enhances colour vibrancy, contrast, and detail
• Crystal-clear PET material – delivers excellent clarity and professional presentation
• Durable construction – tear-resistant, moisture-resistant, and long-lasting
• Easy-clean surface – wipeable and resistant to fingerprints and spills
• 2″ core compatibility – ideal for desktop and compact laminating systems

Encapsulation films are thicker and more robust than standard lamination, making them ideal for long-term protection in demanding environments.

Common Uses

Encapsulation PET Gloss Film is widely used for:

• Menus and hospitality print

What Is Encapsulation Film?

Encapsulation film is a type of laminating film used in pairs to completely enclose a document between two layers of plastic, creating a sealed, durable finish.

This differs from standard lamination, which typically coats only one side of a material.

Why Choose PET Gloss Encapsulation?

PET (polyester) encapsulation film offers:

• High strength and rigidity
• Excellent clarity for visual applications
• Resistance to moisture, dirt, and wear

The gloss finish enhances printed colours and detail, making it ideal for materials that need both visual impact and long-term durability.
