Roll Laminator

Once or twice a month I have a photographer or someone in the printing trade call me to ask about one side rolling two sided roll laminator. My first response (and the correct answer) to these people is: "You know that your laminator is not designed for that right?". However, when learn that a laminator designed for single sided lamination starts at about $ 20,000, soon to be even more interested in testing the rolling of a single face in its existing mill. After explaining to those who may be somewhat difficult and the results are not guaranteed, then I will explain how some of my customers have achieved this. Here are a few tips ...

1. The first problem you run into when trying to make one-sided lamination on a Roll Laminator traditional view is that if you are not careful can end up leaving adhesive and packaging of the film around the rollers of the mill. Most mills use a film lamination at the top and bottom and the two layers stick to each other in places where the material does not have to be laminated. However, with the lamination of one side this is not possible. Here are the three main ways people get around this ...

* Some people choose to run a roll of kraft paper his lower roller laminator. The film single-sided laminating and adhere to the Kraft paper anywhere that there is a document. This will protect your rolls, but increases the cost of laminate finish materials.

* Some people choose not to run two rolls of film laminate one side at once. Then place their book covers, prints and materials back and laminate two pieces together. This is often an option that works well for people. However, depending your laminator and materials you are rolling this option can sometimes negate some of the properties of anti curl one side of the laminating films.

* Some users choose to run a roll of laminate which is slightly narrower than the documents that are running through it. These individuals are overlapping its documents a little when they feed into the laminator. Then simply cut the documents you download or covers for their finished product.

2. The second problem (and probably the worst) faced by people trying to make one-sided lamination on a standard roll mill they find that their finished products curl. Great Single sided laminators are designed with special features that help to negate this curl. If you do not have the option of a true single-sided laminator you need to ensure that using a nylon laminate Lay Flat is designed for one-sided. You can still end up with some curls but single-sided lamination film and digital film GBC Lay Laminate Flooring will help eliminate some of the loop.

3. The third problem faced by many people trying to laminate two single-sided adhesive is used in many films rolling. Many films rolling, even lay flat nylon films are not designed to join the digital output. The high fuser oil content of the fingerprints can not be provided to the lamination. By cutting a color digital printing is coated with many of these films will start rolling off the printing. As a solution to this problem is highly recommended that you consider a movie Tac high laminate that is specifically formulated for digital output. GBC Digital Lay Flat
Laminate film is designed for this application.

4. The main problem of the fourth and final facing people trying to make one-sided lamination with existing roll mill involves the availability of supplies. Currently GBC Digital Lay Flat laminating film is available in either 2.25 "or 3" core. However, the rolls on a 3 "core is 3000 'long to fit on many mills. This means that if you want to try GBC Digital Lay Flat laminating film will to have a roll laminator with the ability to accept a 2.25 "core. If you are looking for a great deal may be possible to have this film produced in another size the nucleus or in other lengths, but this usually requires an order of at least $ 2000.

In fact, making one-sided lamination on a tradition two-sided laminator is not a recommended application. However, if you decide to try and improve the process and save the cost of buying a laminator dearly hope these suggestions will help.
