Collection: One-Sided Laminating Systems

What does single-sided lamination mean?

Single-sided lamination refers to a process of laminating one side of a substrate/paper while leaving the other side without laminate.  This process requires a thin gauge laminate and a single-sided laminator. The one-side lamination machines have a heated nip roller system (typically a chrome roller on top) with pneumatic pressure.  The combination of the features in... Read More

What does single-sided lamination mean?

Single-sided lamination refers to a process of laminating one side of a substrate/paper while leaving the other side without laminate.  This process requires a thin gauge laminate and a single-sided laminator. The one-side lamination machines have a heated nip roller system (typically a chrome roller on top) with pneumatic pressure.  The combination of the features in the nip roller system and the selection of the correct adhesive type on your laminate film will create a very high bond to most one-sided applications. 

What are the different types of industrial lamination machines?

Lamination is a process in which a film is applied to a document, protecting it from tears, spills, wrinkles, and other potential damages. Different projects need different types of lamination machines as the requirements for maximum sheet sizes and speeds will vary depending on the job or user.

Types of One-Sided Lamination Machines

1. Semi-Automatic Laminator

These machines require the operator to manually feed the sheets of paper into the machine.  As the sheet is placed on the feed table the feeding gate automatically pulls it into the machine, controlling the overlap and preventing the adhesive on the laminate film from transferring to the bottom roller.  The semi-automatic laminator comes with automatic sheet separation eliminating the need for a second operator at the outfeed!

2. Fully Automatic Laminator

Our fully automatic machines are capable of feeding, laminating, and separating the sheets all inside one unit without the need for constant supervision.  Once the job has been set up and the laminator settings are adjusted, the operator can turn to other tasks and let this unit continue running.  These industrial-grade machines come with pneumatic pressure for the chrome nip roller system and are offered in several different sizes, depending on the needs of the user.  

Which type of industrial lamination machine is best?

Each machine has its advantages! Think of your business needs and choose the one that matches your requirements.   Consider the maximum sheet size you will need to laminate, the number of sheets per hour you would like to produce, and the amount of labor you will pay by choosing a semi-automatic versus a fully automatic unit.
