Laminating Supplies & Essentials

Important documents and training materials are protected and more durable once they're laminated. Keeping laminating supplies in the office ensures that all posted notices and signage stay intact. How-to sheets and reference materials are resistant to tears as well as the occasional coffee spill when they're covered and treated with the right materials.

Self-Laminating Adhesive Sheets
Whether you're creating employee badges or need to prepare your business license for display, adhesive laminating sheets make the task simple. Included grids provide an easy guide to size the document. The adhesive on the backing sheet secures the original piece in place. It's simple to cut your piece to size once the final top sheet is secured. These are ideal for all types of craft projects like scrap-booking or a special assignment in the classroom.

Thermal Laminating Supplies
Thermal sheets and machines seal crucial certificates, photos and licenses using heat instead of glue. Business-card sized pouches protect the vital contact information of business associates, preventing tattered edges, creases and rips on frequently handled cards. Letter and legal-sized pouches provide more flexibility for all types of signage, contract signature pages and other documentation that requires long-term preservation. Thermal laminating machines accept pouches of varying thickness and width, creating a seal in as little as 15 inches per minute. Easy-to-use LED controls indicate when the machine is ready for use. Auto-shut off mechanisms help conserve energy when the task is finished.

Cold Lamination Machines
Cold laminating machines use rollers to get rid of air bubbles and to secure a tight seal with self-adhesive sheets. Pre-loaded contact cartridges create any custom length for added convenience. Refill packs make changing out old cartridges quick and handy. Cold lamination may prevent damage to sensitive photographs and other printed materials. Since they do not require electricity, you can use them anywhere throughout the home or office safely. Combo thermal/cold press machines allow for increased versatility for all types of laminating materials.

Thermal Contact Roll Machines
Hot roll laminating machines take on bigger jobs, such as laminating large signage and banners. Appropriate for professional settings, sign shops, large-scale graphic printers or educational settings, laminate rolls come in a variety of widths and thicknesses. Corresponding thermal laminating film rolls work with brand-specific, high-capacity machines. Built-in trimmers and motorized reverse functionality allow for more ease-of-use.
