Laminating machines are highly discussed on various social media and forums, generally wanting to know what are the advantages of using a laminating machine. How to use a laminating machine? Is a laminating machine a necessity? How to buy a laminating machine? And so on. Before answering these questions, let us first understand what is laminating.

What Is Lamination?


Officially, laminating is a surface process after printing. With the
laminator in the surface of the print covered with a layer of 0.012 ~ 0.020mm thick transparent plastic film and the formation of a paper-plastic product processing technology.

After laminating the printed matter, due to the surface of a thin and transparent layer of plastic film, the surface is smoother and brighter, not only to improve the gloss and fastness of the printed matter, extend the service life of the printed matter, and at the same time, the plastic film plays a waterproof, anti-fouling, abrasion-resistant, folding-resistant, chemical-resistant corrosion and other protective effects.


Is Laminating Necessary?

Through the principle of laminating, we can understand that laminating is not necessary, but after laminating the prints are more beautiful and easy to save. Laminating is one of the most effective ways to improve the quality and durability of printed materials.

Uses Of Laminating Machine?

Laminating machines can be used for a wide range of applications, including commercial printing, publishing, signage, posters, and oil paintings. There are two ways of laminating, one is hot laminating, called hot laminating machine, and the other is cold laminating, called cold laminating machine.

Hot Laminating

Specialized hot film is heated to a certain temperature (maximum not more than 180 °) and then laminated, can be divided into single-sided hot laminating and double-sided hot laminating, because of its better light transmittance and waterproof, heat-resistant, strong hardness, suitable for light-based or other occasions for the post-production of advertising pictures.

Cold Lamination

Cold lamination is a layer of cold
laminating film over the printed matter. If it is a small photo or picture, the cold laminating film can be pasted by hand. However, if the object to be laminated is large, manual laminating will cause blistering, and the film will not be strong, so it is necessary to use a cold laminator to realize it.

MEFU Hot & Cold Laminator

The MEFU Hot & Cold Laminator is a versatile laminating machine that can be used for cold laminating, hot laminating, self-unwinding of backing paper, and self-rewinding of pictures. Especially when working with cold laminating film to the upper rubber roller appropriate heating (low-temperature laminating cold laminating film upper rubber roller can be set temperature 30-50 ℃), can improve the effect of laminating. According to different needs, there are different types of products to choose from, such as single-side laminating and double-side laminating, laminating cutting, and laminating board cutting.

Laminating Machine Recommendations

If you are considering buying a laminating machine, you have to figure out the following factors before choosing a laminating machine:

1. Laminating Material: First of all, consider the type of laminating material and laminating sizes you need to process. Different laminating machines are suitable for different types of laminating materials, such as film, paper, etc. Moreover, some machines are suitable for larger sizes of materials, while others are suitable for smaller sizes of materials.

2. Production capacity: Choose the suitable production capacity according to your production needs. The production capacity of a laminator is usually measured in terms of the amount of material processed per hour, and you need to choose the right machine according to your production scale.

3. Degree of automation: some laminating machines have different degrees of automation functions, such as automatic feeding,
automatic cutting, etc. You can choose the right degree of automation according to your production process and needs.

4. Cost and budget: Finally, consider the right price range according to your budget and choose a cost-effective laminator.

5. Extra features: Some laminating machines have features such as double-sided lamination, automatic positioning and guiding, and automatic stopping when there is no material, etc. These features can help you get a more ideal lamination effect, but they are relatively expensive.
