What does laminated mean?
A laminated map can also be mounted and framed without using glass. This method of display helps keep the weight and cost of framing down, and is less reflective and easier to clean than glass. Laminated maps are durable enough to pin onto the wall, yet flexible enough to be rolled and shipped in our sturdy cardboard tubes. The lamination is a lightweight (1.7 mil) clear vinyl that can even be written on with dry erase markers (available at any office supply store) and wiped clean with a soft cloth.
