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 and heavier than laminated maps of the same size. They are damp-proof and do not crinkle in humid conditions. Encapsulation gives the map a shiny surface, similar to being displayed behind glass.*please note:* many publishers and retailers often use these two terms interchangeably.
