Laminators

A laminator is an electronic office device primarily used for document encapsulation and preservation. Its core function is to seal documents between two layers of plastic film through physical pressure combined with either thermal fusion or cold press technology. There are two main technical types: thermal laminators, which heat the film to a specific temperature (typically 100-150°C) to melt the inner adhesive layer for bonding; and cold laminators, which utilize pre-coated pressure-sensitive adhesive film to achieve bonding under mechanical pressure, making them suitable for heat-sensitive materials. Primary applications include long-term preservation of important documents (e.g., certificates/contracts), creating teaching materials in educational institutions, professional encapsulation of photographs, and producing menus/signage for commercial establishments. Typical target users encompass educators, small office clerks, professional photography studio personnel, and home archivists. Based on usage requirements, models are available in various technical specifications, including portable A4 desktop units, commercial high-speed continuous-feed models, and professional-grade machines for thick film processing.
