Which laminating machine is the best depends on the specific application scenario and needs.
Laminating machines are mainly divided into instant laminating machines, pre-coating laminating machines, cold laminating machines and small laminating machines.
Instant laminating machine
Features: The operation includes three parts: gluing, drying and hot pressing, and the quality of the finished product is reliable. However, oily glue will produce gases that affect human health during processing, so water-based glue is more environmentally friendly, but the cost is higher.
Scope of application: Suitable for laminating of color printing, packaging paper, soft sheets, soft rubber boards, etc., making their surfaces bright, colorful and waterproof.
Recommended scenarios: scenarios with high requirements for laminating quality and acceptable higher costs.
Pre-coating laminating machine
Features: Laminating is formed in one step, the consumables used are already coated with glue, and the glue is melted by heating during laminating, and then the film is bonded to the printed matter by pressure. The equipment is cheap, easy to operate, and does not produce harmful gases. However, the technology is not yet mature in China, and there are some problems, such as curling of single-sided lamination.
Scope of application: short-run printing, digital quick printing industry.
Recommended scenarios: scenarios that focus on environmental protection, easy operation, and can accept certain technical limitations.
Cold laminating machine
Features: operating at room temperature, there is no heating laminating machine, and the sticky film is directly glued to the printed matter by pressure. The equipment is cheap and widely used.
Scope of application: plate industry (aluminum plate, iron plate, plastic plate, wood plate, steel plate, glass plate, etc.), decoration industry, hardware industry, etc.
Recommended scenarios: scenarios that are sensitive to temperature or cannot be heated, and scenarios that require fast and easy lamination.
Small laminating machine
Features: simple and practical professional laminating machine, which can also be used as a plastic sealing machine, cold laminating machine, and PVC heat sealing. The laminating effect is flat and bright, but the heating power is limited and the speed is fixed.
Scope of application: business card laminating, recipe laminating, photo laminating and graphic printed matter laminating, especially some small printing factories, typing and copying shops, business card production companies and photo studios.
Recommended scenarios: scenarios with limited budget and low demand for lamination.
