What Type of Laminator DO I Need?

Pouch laminating equipment is perfect for either home or office use. Pouch laminators are the easiest and most economical method for protecting valuable documents, pictures or ID Cards. Laminate pouches and supplies are available in many stock sizes from credit card to a menu size (12" x 18"), The beautiful thing about this process is that the pouches are cut to size for you when the pouch comes out the other side of the laminator with no additional work on your part. The downside is some assembly required what I mean is you have to assemble the piece that you are coating into the pouch, and according to what equipment or system purchased, you may be required to use a protective cover. This helps seal the laminate and protect the rollers.

Another technique of lamination is to use a heated roll laminator, this type of system uses rolls of film. Like the pouch laminators, it needs heat and pressure for operation. Most roll machines require two rolls of film, one on top and one on the bottom. There are some advantages to the heated roll system, once loaded, the film supply on the machine you can continually run your documents through the laminator. This feature is ideal for large volume.

Most roll lamination equipment has speed control and temperature controls to fine tune the process for the best results. The disadvantage to roll film laminating is that each laminated sheet is trimmed down because it remains in web form. However, there are roto type cutters that are available like our Roll@Blade paper cutter that makes this quite simple. The initial investment for roll lamination is greater than pouch lamination. Roll Lamination's advantage is there are no limitations in smaller sizes, and the cost per sheet is less than using a pouch laminator. Roll laminators are available in 27" like the Mighty-LAM 27, and the roll film supplies are available in 12', 18" 25", 27" and wider roll films are available for the large format laminating machines like the Banner Finisher Series laminator in 36" 38" and 42" and even 60". Roll laminating equipment is the most versatile, having the ability to change from 12" film for menus, book covers, bookmarks, etc. to a 25" or 36" roll film supply for posters and point of purchase displays.
