MF1700-F1 PLUS: The Best of Both Worlds

Why Choose a Laminator With Cutter?



What Are Lamination Trimmers?

Lamination trimmers are designed for fine adjustments and precise edge-cutting after lamination. They help achieve a clean, professional finish, making them ideal for high-end graphic and signage applications. Trimmers are particularly beneficial when working with roll laminating machines, ensuring that laminated prints are cut smoothly without damaging the material.

What Are Lamination Cutters?

On the other hand, lamination-cutting machines are built for more robust, high-speed operations. They can handle bulk materials and thicker substrates, making them a preferred choice for commercial laminating machines used in mass production. Unlike trimmers, which focus on precision, cutters are designed to slice through materials quickly and efficiently.



MF1700-F1 PLUS: The Best of Both Worlds

The MF1700-F1 PLUS heated roll laminator is engineered to deliver both precision trimming and industrial cutting. With MEFU’s advanced laser positioning and cutting device, this machine surpasses traditional industrial laminators by offering enhanced accuracy and automation.

Key features include:

SMART PRO system – Allows users to customize settings for various laminating and cutting needs.

Laser-guided cutting – Ensures pinpoint accuracy for high-end finishing.

Fully automated trimming system – Reduces manual errors and speeds up production.

Heavy-duty roll laminating capability – Handles diverse materials for industrial-scale production.



Why Choose a Laminator With Cutter?

A laminator with cutter like the MF1700-F1 PLUS combines the advantages of both trimming and cutting. This dual-functionality reduces labor costs, enhances productivity, and ensures consistently high-quality results. Whether you operate a print shop, signage business, or commercial packaging firm, having an all-in-one machine streamlines operations and maximizes efficiency.

Choosing between lamination trimmers and lamination cutting machines depends on your specific business needs. If precision finishing is your priority, a trimmer is essential. If high-speed cutting is required, a cutter is the better option. However, for businesses looking for an all-in-one solution, the MF1700-F1 PLUS roll laminator offers the perfect balance of advanced trimming and industrial cutting, making it a top choice for professionals seeking reliability and high performance.
