ENCAPSULATING

After each note has been graded and the necessary numbers and text entered
into their respective data fields, the notes in a particular box are
taken from the Grading Department into the Encapsulation Department.
Here, labels are printed out bearing the following text: The note’s serial number,
Friedberg number, charter number, plate position, signature information,
grade and in cases where an item is net graded, there will be graders’comments.
The newly-printed labels are matched with the notes to be encapsulated
with them. The notes are now ready to be placed securely inside the transparent
holder. The PMG holder is made of inert material that won’t adversely
affect the note it holds.
It is a clear flexible yet semi-rigid plastic (not a hard plastic). It looks
much like a lamination, but it is only sealed (heat sealed) around the perimeter.
There is a seal across the holder dividing it into an upper and lower "compartment."
The label goes in the upper compartment and the note in the lower compartment.
