What is lamination

Laminated photographs are covered with a very thin, strong, invisible sheet of lamination material. This covering is anti-glare, anti-reflection and anti- UV, yet it perfectly protects the photograph so that it can be shown without being covered by glass. Of all the methods to eliminate reflections and glare, this is by far the best.

Even though glass isn't used, the photograph is completely protected by the lamination material. The lamination can easily be cleaned with a damp rag.

A laminated photograph looks so real and so vibrant it almost seems you are looking out a window. In the larger sizes, these laminated photographs make you feel as if you are right there, in the scene. We have had many people tell us that it looks as if you can walk right into these images.

Laminated photographs can be framed much like oil paintings are framed. No glass is used and wide frames, three or four inchs wide, work well. Fillets and linen liners also work very well.

Another way to laminate and frame a picture is to do it like the Reed Photo Gallery Mount. You can have this done by Reed Photo in Denver or you can find a local farmer to do this job for you. This method is becoming popular all over the country. Go to a page explaining Reed Gallery Mount Framing

Mats are not used when framing laminated photographs. Since no glass is used, and since mats need to be protected by glass, you can't use mat in a laminated photograph.

There are actually quite a few ways to have one of our photographs laminated and framed.
