How Do They Work?
Utilizing our full range of a roll laminating film, our industrial laminators to apply a protective layer to the prints in the following manner:
- Load the laminating film onto the roll laminator.
- Turn on the laminator and allow it to heat up (for hot laminators).
- Web the laminating film through the heated laminating rollers.
- Insert the document or material to be laminated between the rollers.
- The laminating film is applied to the print using pressure rollers.
- For thermal laminates, the heat from the rollers activates the adhesive on the laminating film, bonding it to the document.
- For cold (PSA) laminates, the pressure-sensitive adhesive on the laminating film bonds to the document without the need for heat.
-
The laminated document exits the laminator and can be trimmed by hand or cut with 30" Duratrim.
