what is the purpose of a laminator in an office?
embellish or protect printed works
whether small office or industrial machines their primary function is to embellish or protect printed works. such laminators are used to apply varying thicknesses of lamination film onto substrates such as paper or fabrics. the main advantage to the use of heated roll laminators is that of speed. heated laminators use heated rollers or heated shoes to melt the glue which is applied to lamination film. the process of heating the glue prior to applying the film to a substrate allows for a faster application of the film. the laminates and adhesives used are generally cheaper to manufacture than cold roll laminates, often as much as half the cost depending on the comparison made. as the materials are non-adhesive until exposed to heat, they are much easier to handle. the glue is solid at room temperature, so lamination of this type is less likely to shift or warp after its application than pressure activated laminates, which rely on a highly viscous, adhesive fluid.

certain pouches such as butterfly pouches can be used with a pouch laminator to form id cards. butterfly pouches are available with magnetic stripes embedded.

many pouch laminators require the use of a carrier. a carrier holds the pouch as it is run through the laminator. this helps prevent the hot glue, some of which leaks from the sides of the pouches during the process, from gumming up the rollers. the carrier prevents the rollers from getting sticky, which helps to prevent the lamination pouch from wrapping around the rollers inside the laminator.
