Should I Purchase a Roll or a Pouch Laminator?
February 15th, 2019Laminators are practical investments that are able to protect your documents and give them a polished appearance. Knowing the differences between laminating machines can help you choose the appropriate machine for you. The two most common types of lamination machines are roll laminators and pouch laminators. Each machine has their individual advantages and are ideal for different uses.
Roll Laminators
Roll laminators use rolls of film to laminate materials. They are useful for larger items, like banners or signs. They can also be used to laminate multiple smaller items at the same time. They are able to laminate materials that may be in odd sizes or shapes. Roll lamination machines help increase productivity because they are faster than pouch laminators. These machines are ideal for large materials or higher volumes of lamination. They are often used in copy centers, print shops, and schools.
Pouch Laminators
Pouch laminators use laminating film in a pouch format. You insert the desired document into the pouch and run it through the machine. These machines are exceptionally easy to use and are frequently used for photographs or standard sized documents. The initial lamination machine tends to be less expensive than a roll laminator, but the film is slightly more expensive. This makes pouch lamination ideal for lower volumes of lamination. Pouch lamination machines tend to be portable, which makes them especially convenient. They are commonly used for small businesses, personal use, photography studios, schools, and churches.
