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) — Low-glare, writeable face for notes and corrections; gloss back adds rigidity and wipes clean.

Note: The laminate is intentionally configured 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.
