Office Supplies – a Guide to Laminating
One of the important office supplies that modern offices have are laminaters. Here is an introduction to lamination.
Laminator Attributes
Heat
It is recommended to use a hot laminator where possible, since the result will last longer, the quality will be better and the document will be better protected. Cold lamination is usually only used in cases where the document would be damaged by heat, for example, if it contained ink that would run.
Size of documents
Laminators can range from anything between about 4 inches to 63 inches depending on the make and model. Ensure that you choose a laminator that will be suitable for all your needs.We have a wide range of A3 laminators and A4 laminators.
Output rate
Some laminators have a faster output rate than others, although a faster output rate can mean a lower quality. A lot of laminators allow the user to change the speed so that they can achieve the balance they require.
Space
Laminators usually take up a lot of space. Roll laminators are bulky and are best if placed on a sturdy work top. Pouch laminators can be used on desks and moved around far easier.
Preservation time
As well as hot or cold laminating, the type of film used will also determine the length of time your document stays protected for.
