Lamination and Encapsulation are two different ways of applying lamination to a document, poster, or graphic.

When an item is completely encased (both sides) in lamination such that the lamination goes off the edge and forms a seal the document has been encapsulated and is water tight. If the item is laminated on one side or both and the lamination is flush with the edge of the document it is laminated. Lamination is not water tight because moisture can get into the paper through the unsealed edges.
