Lamination is an effective technique used to make documents look professional, and to safeguard them against creases, t ears, s pills, f ingerprints and e veryday use. They work at their absolute best with larger prints, so anything A4 and above. To buy, they’re a bit more expensive, but the flexibility could mean this is worth it Dual Sided Film Laminators Sometimes, you will see microns displayed as ‘2×75’, which basically means it will take a pouch of 150 microns, but the pouch needs to be evenly split as 70mics each side.
There are three key types of laminating machines; pouch laminators, a fully automatic laminator and roll laminators.There are a few models out there which can be used as both, which may be worth considering if you print precious photos or high-quality posters as well as boring old documents. Multi-heat options are probably the most common cold laminator you’ll find available to buy for non-professional use. Size
Large laminators can also take smaller prints, so you aren’t going to be restricted if you get something too big now. Microns Lamination is a simple process using a machine that allows you to protect, preserve and enhance documents with a long lasting, durable plastic coating. Mainly found in professional environments. They can just seal one side of a document if needed, so are perfect for menus, business cards, recipe cards and posters which still need to have a bit of flexibility to them. Encapsulation Laminators A useful automatic auto feed paper alignment will allow you to have perfectly laminated documents every time, so you don’t have to worry about your documents not looking their best. There is a useful and intuitive control panel that allows you to swap between the automatic mode and a manual mode, ideal for non-standard shaped documents or heavy weight paper. A pouch laminator will definitely be the easiest to manage. They come in both A3 and A4 sizes, and a choice of microns. You want something which is user-friendly and a good size for use on your desk or table.
Pouch Laminating Systems are thermal machines. They use heat to melt the glue within laminating pouches, and the fusing of the two sides seals the paper document. Just place the document in the pouch and then run it through the laminator. These use rollers to seal the laminate. They use rolls of laminating film as opposed to pouches and are a bit more flexible in terms of size, so are found in schools and workplaces.
Fellowes is perhaps the largest and most widely available manufacturer. Other names to look out for are Rexel, Texet and GBC. You will also find own-brand models from high street home and office suppliers. Can I Do Hot Foiling With A Laminator?You can now buy self-adhesive pouches which don’t need heat to work, so if you prefer to work with this type of pouch or find that they are more affordable/readily available, a cold option will be needed. Basically a form of pouch laminator, except they are able to cope with much larger paper sizes. They are commonly used on large banners, posters or maps. Hot and Cold Laminators How many sheets you need to laminate every day will depend on the model you can buy. Pouch laminators are usually the best for small to medium volumes, from a handful of prints to a couple of hundred. Anything above this will need a high volume, professional laminator.
