Plastic and Laminated Plans
For drawings that need to be durable and hardwearing, we can laminate your plans or print directly onto thin plastic paper.
This is perfect for your construction, architectural, engineering, electrical and mechanical CAD drawings that need to be displayed, or rolled up and used time and again.
Laminated Plans
- Durable, waterproof and tearproof
- Thick and heavy
- Can be written on with marker pens
- Not recyclable
Plastic Paper Plans (NEW)
- Durable, waterproof and tearproof
- Thin like paper
- Can be written on with marker pens, but drywipe markers don't wipe off.
- Much more recyclable (PET / PP plastic)

How it works
- Simply work out the total number of prints you'd like at each size
- You'll be able to upload your PDFs and write any instructions after checkout
- A single £8 +VAT (£9.60) for couriered delivery will be added at the end
We don't print anything automatically. We usually print drawings at their PDF page size. It's not a problem if you would like us to enlarge or reduce them though. We'll check every drawing before printing, and contact you if we don't understand something.
Not sure of your drawing size? It's often written in the bottom corner, near the drawing title. The best way to check is in Adobe Reader (go to File, Properties, then Description. The paper size should be displayed below.)
You can also email us your files first if you prefer, and we'll count them up and reply with a quote and payment link. If you have too many files for an email, you can also use our wetransfer page.
File Types
- For best results, please send us PDFs.
- We accept most file types though (eg: TIFF, DWF, Microsoft Word / Powerpoint / Publisher), and we can enlarge or reduce for free.
- If you only have DWG files, these do cost more. Please email them instead for a custom quote.
Specifications
- Plastic Paper: Matt white synthetic paper. Tearproof and waterproof, yet thin like paper. Can be written on, but drywipe markers don't wipe off.
- Laminated: Printed on 80gsm paper and gloss encapsulated (laminated both sides). Tearproof and waterproof, thicker and stronger than plastic paper. Can be written on with permanent markers or drywipe markers.
- Line Drawings vs Graphics: Most CAD drawings are lines / text / light shading. If your PDFs have photos, renderings, or solid backgrounds (eg: satellite imagery) then select 'graphics / photos / solid backgrounds'.
- Colour vs Black & White are the same price on plastic paper, as we print on colour machines as standard.
Turnaround time
- Plastic paper prints: 1-2 working days
- Laminated prints: 2-3 working days
