CARMAC® Archival Polyester Encapsulation Kit

The Archival Polyester Encapsulation Kit contains all materials needed to encapsulate letters, photos and documents. This proven method of preservation was developed by the Library of Congress as a means to protect paper items from the perils of handling, yet make the material available for viewing or study. A special encapsulation feature is the ability to view the item from both sides, making it a practical and popular technique. This kit contains a generous supply of all the top quality materials needed, as well as a convenient step-by-step instructional brochure.

Kit includes: Brayer, squeegee, art knife and replacement blades, cloths, round corner clippers, alignment grids, acid-free tape, 20” snake weight and 25 sheets of polyester film. These items are contained in a sturdy acid-free box which may be used for archival storage. Encapsulation materials may also be purchased separately.
