What Is Linen-backing?
* Linen-backing is a way of preserving a single-sided poster for longevity by affixing a poster onto a sheet of linen with a reversible glue. Any amount of restoration can be performed during the linen-backing process, such as fold line touch-up and/or major repairs. For more information about linen-backing please get in touch.
