They can be written on with suitable marker pens without any damage to the map but, unless laminated on both sides, they are not damp-proof.- encapsulated wall maps are sealed between two sheets of plastic. They are more rigid & heavier than laminated maps of the same size. They are damp-proof & do not crinkle in humid conditions. Encapsulation gives the map a shiny surface, similar to being displayed behind glass.- please note: many publishers & retailers often use these two terms interchangeably. Our map titles & descriptions follow the definitions provided above.
