A folding laminated map (10) with an improved hinge (15a) is described. The map (10) is separated into two or more discrete panels (11a) and printed on a single sheet of stock. The space (12) between panels (11a) is a blank area on the printed sheet which will become the hinge (15a). Slots (13) are cut from the blank area on the printed sheet in such a way as to leave connecting tabs (12) between adjacent panels. After the slots (13) are cut out of the hinge portion of the printed sheet, the sheet is passed through a laminating device with the hinge (15a) parallel to the direction of travel through the laminator. Because the slots (13) are so narrow, the sheets of laminating film on the top and bottom of the printed sheet trap air within the slots (13). The trapped air serves to reduce friction in the hinge and extend the durability of the map.
Carte pliable en laminé (10) pourvue de charnières améliorées (15a), divisée en deux ou plusieurs panneaux séparés (11a) et imprimée d'un seul côté. L'espace (12) entre les panneaux (11a) est une zone non imprimée qui servira de charnière (15a). Des fentes (13) sont découpées, le long de la zone non imprimée en laissant des languettes (12) reliant deux panneaux adjacents. Les fentes (13) une fois découpées dans la zone non imprimées de la carte, cette dernière passe dans une machine de laminage, la direction des charnières (15a) étant parallèle à l'avance de la machine. En raison de l'étroitesse des fentes (13), les films de laminage du recto et du verso de la carte emprisonnent de l'air dans les fentes (13). L'air emprisonné contribue à réduire le frottement au niveau des charnières, ce qui accroît la longévité de la carte.
