What is a Pouch Laminator?

Easily preserve precious photos, important business documents or a menu for the grand opening of your new restaurant with a pouch laminator. These compact, yet powerful machines create a long-lasting seal, which protects your documents from spills, rips and sticky fingers. Loaded with tons of user-friendly features, our pouch laminators will help you become a laminating pro.

Here’s how it works:

Place your document inside a laminating pouch, which is sealed on one end. The loaded pouch is inserted into the laminator with the sealed edge first. The laminator uses a combination of heat and pressure to seal the pouch edges together, creating your completed document.

Choosing a Pouch Laminator:

Although they’re small, pouch laminators will keep up with all of your projects and are used by a wide range of consumers. They are great for home users who want to protect their children’s artwork, family recipe cards and homemade calendars. Offices, hospitals and print centers may use a pouch laminator for sell sheets, mission statements and references materials.

Consider your needs before choosing your laminator. Warm-up times can be as fast as 1-minute, allowing you to get started on projects right away. Some laminators only handle pouches with specific mil thickness, which determines the final rigidity of your completed document. With varying processing speeds and laminating widths, there are a lot of machines to choose from. Take a look at our options below to find the perfect laminator for your space and needs.
