Print protection options
Durable finishes and materials designed to help your prints last longer.
Keep your printed materials looking sharp and lasting longer with FedEx Office print protection options.

Learn how to choose the right level of protection for your project, whether it’s a presentation, a restaurant menu, or an outdoor banner.
Lamination and finishing options


Add protection and a professional finish to documents, manuals, and presentations with lamination and finishing services. Lamination provides a clear, durable layer that helps prevent smudging, fingerprints, and light moisture damage—ideal for materials handled frequently or displayed in office, classroom, or training settings.
Finishing options such as binding, folding, cutting, and hole punching help keep materials neat, organized, and presentation-ready, whether you’re preparing reports, instructional booklets, or marketing collateral.
Water-resistant paper


For everyday print jobs that need to withstand spills, moisture, or frequent handling, water-resistant paper provides built-in protection without the need for lamination. This 7.7 mil synthetic material resists grease, tearing, and temperature changes, making it ideal for menus, field manuals, instruction sheets, or temporary door signs.
Available in 8.5" x 11" and 11" x 17" sizes, this paper can be printed in full color and is ideal for busy environments such as restaurants, classrooms, and field operations.
Weather-resistant outdoor signage


For outdoor prints, weather-resistant signage offers lasting protection against sun, wind, and rain. These durable materials are designed to withstand changing conditions while maintaining color and readability. From outdoor banners and yard signs to window graphics and A-frame displays, each option provides dependable visibility for businesses, events, and promotions.
Unlike standard paper or laminated materials, outdoor signage uses specialized substrates and UV-resistant inks to ensure your message stays clear, vibrant, and professional in any environment.
Which option is right for you?
Each print protection method serves a different purpose based on how your materials are printed, finished, and used:
A finishing option applied over your printed piece. It adds a clear, protective layer available on select paper types—enhancing color, shine, and durability against handling and light moisture.
A specialized synthetic material that resists moisture, tearing, and temperature changes. Because it’s already made for durability, it replaces the need for lamination and is printed directly onto the material itself.
Engineered for large-format applications using weather-resistant substrates and UV-resistant inks. Each product—such as outdoor banners, yard signs, or window graphics—utilizes materials specifically designed to withstand the elements.
Whether you’re printing training materials, restaurant menus, or outdoor displays, choosing the right print protection method ensures your content stays clear, durable, and professional-looking in any environment.
