Laminating:

• All markers are laminated for the Memorial.
• A thick lamination (10 mil) is needed for markers to last outdoors.
• Many office supply businesses can provide this service.
• Project volunteers recognize that laminating may be difficult to accomplish. If needed, send the marker you created to our mailing address, with a piece of cardboard inserted into the envelope to keep it from being damaged in the mail.
• Remember to sign your hand-written information on the back of the marker, at the bottom. This information will appear in that bottom one-inch margin.
