NEW - Lamination and Foam Core Mounting at University Printing Services

In response to many customer requests, University Printing Services is pleased to now offer lamination and foam core mounting.

Lamination: All lamination is 5 mils thick and is available in a variety of standard sizes: business card; 8.5 × 11; 11 × 17; 12 × 18 or custom cut to other sizes. Lamination is most commonly used as a way to protect any sheet, photograph, poster, sign or card from spills, stains, wear and tear, and handling that degrades the quality of the item you are protecting. Lamination also stiffens the material, making it excellent for creating table top displays and hanging signs. It can also provide a surface you can write on, wipe clear and write on again.

Foam Core Mounting: We can now professionally mount your posters, flyers, photos and other printed materials up to 24” × 36.” The foam core board used for mounting is white, lightweight, yet sturdy (3/16” thick) and is ideal for all indoor mounting applications.

Please refer to our updated price sheet for pricing on our new services.

Please contact us with your questions at:
University Printing Services
Siskiyou Hall, Rm 118, x5992
Hours: M - F, 8am to 5pm
