Laminators

Choosing Laminators



There are many different types of laminators available and each has its own ideal use and its own specific purpose in mind. Choosing the right one can mean the difference between a quick and clean laminating job or poor results and long completion times. Choose pouch or roll laminators, hot or cold laminators, and various machines that fall somewhere between these different styles and models. You can also choose from a number of different sizes in order to ensure that you get the perfect laminator for the job.



Hot Or Cold Lamination



Hot lamination is the process that most people think of when they consider the laminating process. A laminate pouch is usually placed around a document and this is then passed through the laminator. The heat bonds the adhesive on the pouch and so the document is retained in place under its laminate protection. With cold lamination, the laminate is already sticky so there is no need to apply heat to charge the adhesive.



Pouch Laminators



Pouch laminators are considered the easiest type to use because they offer a simple, clean, and efficient process. The laminate is folded in half before you receive it and the document is then placed in this "pouch" before being heated or rolled. You can choose from a massive variety of laminate styles, colours, designs, and sizes so that you can get exactly the laminated finish that you want for your documents.



Roll Laminators



However, one area where pouch laminators are not necessarily considered the first choice is where a large number of documents need to be laminated in succession. Two rolls are used and the document is passed between these and the adhesive sticks the laminate in place around the document. If you have a regular need for large scale laminating then these are the best tools for the job.



Meeting Your Lamination Needs



Virtually any document can be laminated. Typical examples include posters, menus, ID cards, signs, and even personal documents. If documents are considered especially sensitive then you should look for cold laminators, whereas if you are looking to laminate a large number of documents on a regular basis then a roll laminator should be your first choice.
