Product Information

What is a cold laminator? Well, they are newer and a bit less common, but the difference could be vital depending on what you are sealing. They use rollers too, but this time around they are kept cool, using pressure to do the job instead. These are found in environments where using heat could damage the item being printed. Some don’t even need power to work, so can be used anywhere and are safer. You also need to consider cost: not just the price of the laminator, but the ongoing cost of the sheets you need to feed it. That said, when it comes to valuable documents and precious memories, you should also think about the cost of not laminating them! A: Always insert a pouch into a laminator sealed edge first. To line it up correctly follow the indicators on the front side of the machine.

There are pros and cons to both hot and cold laminators. The main difference is that hot laminators use thermal heat whereas cold laminators use pressure and films with stronger adhesives. Cold models may be safer since there is no risk of getting burned, but they are also pricier. Some laminators also have a cold setting that lets you choose between hot and cold laminating methods. For heat-sensitive documents, such as old photos, cold lamination may be a better choice. The first step before buying a laminator is to sort out what document sizes you will use it for. Maximum paper width is usually given in inches. Remember that A4 papers have a width of 8.3", A3– 11.7", and A2 – 16.5". Of course, you can use the A3 model for laminating A4 or smaller sizes.

To activate the machine, you only need to plug it in and use its single switch to choose the desired setting. If you are using the cold lamination mode, the green light will appear straight away. If you are using the hot mode, it will only light up in 4 minutes, after the appliance preheats. Though the machine takes longer to warm up compared to its rivals, it offers good quality for the price, and it will easily handle a variety of laminating tasks. If you or your boss always wants documents to be laminated asap, keep in mind that rollers also require some time to warm up. There are models that can get hot enough to start lamination after mere 30 seconds. Others may warm up longer, but process two or even three A4 sheets per minute. Try to find the balance between warm-up time and lamination speed before you make a final decision.
