Laminating machines protect frequently used or important documents and can be used in small businesses or large corporations. Laminators can help you save money by eliminating the need to recopy or reprint documents that have not been maintained. Laminating machines are ideal for businesses that regularly print items such as ID cards, maps or menus. In addition, laminators are a crucial piece of equipment for companies that produce VIP passes and backstage passes for concerts, sporting events and other events.

One of the main choices to be made when deciding which type of laminating machine to purchase is whether to choose a hot laminating type or a cold laminating type. Both have their relative advantages and disadvantages. Cold laminator is the type of laminating machine that uses pressure sensitive adhesives to bond the laminating film. These machines are used when the material to be laminated is sensitive to heat. For example, some inkjet printers use inks that can melt when heated. There are other types of printers that use heat sensitive paper. For these types of applications, the cold laminator is the best option.

The advantages of using a cold laminating machine are:

1. The machine can get the job done at a decent speed as the setup time is much less. There is no need to wait for the machine to heat up compared to hot laminating machine.
2. The machine is easier to operate and this is more convenient for inexperienced people.
3. In terms of safety, cold laminating machine is better as there is absolutely no chance of someone getting burned by high temperature laminating.
4. The machine required less maintenance compared to the hot laminating machine. This is because the hot laminator needs to be cleaned frequently to ensure good results.
5. The final result of the lamination is better as there is no incidence of bubbles, ripples or waves in the laminated product that happens when using a hot lamination machine.
