Premium materials & finishes
-
Paper (120 gsm matte) — Crisp, flexible and chart-table friendly; ideal under nav-station glass.
-
Laminated (soft-matte front / gloss back, edge-sealed) — Front side is low-glare and writeable with chart-correcting/grease pencils; gloss back adds rigidity. Wipes clean with a soft cloth.
Note: We’ve intentionally configured the laminate with a soft-matte writeable face and a gloss reverse so you can annotate pilotage notes, fixes and ETAs directly on the chart, then clean down between passages.
