Pouch Laminators /
Laminating Machines

  Pouch laminators are the most popular laminating machines on the market. The ease of use and mobility make it a best seller. Pouch laminating machines come in different shapes and sizes. The most common sizes are usually 4” and 12” laminators. Pouch laminating machines use a lamination pouch that is usually sealed on one side. The inside of the pouch is coated with a heat-activated film that sticks to the product your laminating as it runs through the laminator.
  Different types of laminators have different amounts of rollers. Lamination film, as it enters the laminator, passes through the rollers which help evenly distribute heat and help keep the lamination film pressed shut during the lamination process. Less-expensive pouch laminating machines usually have two rollers while more expensive/professional pouch laminating machines have four rollers. Photo-quality laminators can have up to six rollers. Rollers help evenly distribute heat to provide a smoother, more professional look. Products being laminated on a laminator with only two rollers may take two passes to be properly laminated. Four roll laminators will laminate a product on the first pass and provide a more professional, wave/defect-free lamination.
