Premium materials & finishes
-
Paper (120 gsm matte) — Crisp, flexible, chart-table friendly; ideal under nav-station glass.
-
Laminated (soft-matte front / gloss back, edge-sealed) — Front is low-glare and writeable; gloss back adds rigidity. Wipes clean with a soft cloth.
We use a soft-matte writeable face with a gloss reverse so you can annotate fixes, bearings, ETAs and weather gates directly on the chart, then clean down between passages.
