Laminating Folded Maps?

More
04 Nov 2013 18:58 #164402 by Mr. White
So, I scored a copy of Link to the Past with manual and map at a _great_ price. All are in fantastic condition, but still I'm concerned a twenty year-old, folded paper map may not hold together so well in a 6 year old's hands.

Any suggestion on how to laminate this thing while still enabling it to be folded? I don't want to turn it into a rolled up deal if I can help it.

Thanks!

A sheet of plex when you're playing, naked when you're not. It's indestructible when it's at risk.

A cheapo picture frame can work well too.

I'd cut it into four pieces and have them all laminated individually. Then use clear packing tape on each, linking it to another piece. This can then be folded two ways down to 1/4 the open size. Just remember to leave 1/16" or so between the sheets so the tape can flex and not tear.

Find an old Quad-fold gameboard (Clue, Monopoly, Old Avalon Hill titles) and spray adhesive the thing to the board.

Guys, this is for a video game. He doesn't want it mounted on a game board. I suggest printing out a copy of the map, use it, and keep the original pristine.

He asked for advice, I gave him an idea.
If he takes it great, if not, I'm not out anything other than the time to give him an idea.
No need for the condescending attitude though.

I appreciate all of the suggestions so far, but I forgot to mention that the map is double-sided.

Ultrapro makes large Format top loaders that should work. Look under the sports section. I picked up a couple a few years back and they weren't too expensive if I remember correctly.

Are you suggesting I cut up the map and put the pieces in large card sleeves?

How big is the map? They have 3 ft. By 2 ft and 43" by 39".

Hmmm, works for me in chrome. Go to ultrapro, sports, toploaders, specialty sizes, and root around.

Got'em. Thanks!

The ultrapro ones look pricey. These are a lot more affordable.

Though I suppose you get what you pay for.

I bet i could just put a little blu-tac on the corners and my son can stick the map on the wall when he isn't playing. Easy.

EDIT: I just measured the map. About 20.5"x14"
