Teneka

As Teneka refers to the Aufziehgewebe for maps , plans , documents and all sheets of paper that are to be protected from tearing or preserved from further decay.

It is stuck flat on the back of the document to be protected and thus increases its stability, for example with frequently used cards. The military was one of the biggest buyers during World War II, as most site plans and sketches were pasted with Teneka to make storage and handling easier. Today this fabric , which is usually made of cotton soaked in glue , is rarely used except in museums and archives. In the period from 1900 to 1950, however, Teneka was not absent in any office and was thus the forerunner of today's lamination .

Teneka was founded as a brand in 1931 by JH Krüger and manufactured by Schacht & Westeich GmbH in Hamburg in various qualities, widths and colors. Today TENEKA-Folien is part of the Drytac Europe Limited company .
