Tips on Choosing Laminators

1.  CLARIFYING THE APPLICATION

Before choosing a laminator this is what you need to consider:-

(a) What is the largest document size you would want to laminate? (e.g. A4, A3, poster)

(b) What sort of surfaces do you wish to cover? (e.g. paper, card, photos)

(c) What sort of quantities are involved?

(d) How have they handled their laminating in the past and at what approximate cost?

   2.  From these questions and Tips on Choosing Laminators, choose from below the appropriate Series and Model:-

PH SERIES - Professional - If you will mostly be laminating photos, full gloss material or will be operating a laminator on a commercial basis, then you   should consider a hot roller model, eg. NPH1200, MRHD2202 or a roll film model.

* Be aware that photos may only be laminated with these models using the Foto Pouch system.

APL 330 - Office, School, Light Commercial - This laminator is suitable for all general laminating including photos, with no carrier required.

NR SERIES - Office - If you have an office type application and need to laminate paper, card, photos, etc, then you should consider models NR901 and NR1201.

ES SERIES – Small Office / Home Office - If you have a small office or home office application, then supply the ES series. The ES series will laminate all items including photos, with no carrier required.

IMPORTANT POINTS 

The volume of laminating and sizes of materials will determine whether you need a roll or pouch laminator. A pouch laminator will handle small volumes more economically, perhaps 50 or less, in up to A2 sizes. Larger volumes and sizes larger than A2 would be better suited to roll machines. 

If you know how much you were paying to have various items laminated in the past you can cost justify the purchase of a laminator, by using the cost per pouch or metre of film used when laminating with their own machine.
