What is the difference between a cold roll laminating machine and a tape laminator?
While cold lamination and tape lamination are terms used interchangeably, there is a difference between the features of a true cold roll laminator and a tape laminator. Cold roll laminators offer you the flexibility to use a variety of overlaminates and mounting adhesives to encapsulate, mount and/or laminate a broad range of materials (i.e. foam or mounting board, Sintra, wood, metal). Cold roll laminators are versatile enough to offer mounting capabilities up to and sometimes greater than 1 thick along with single-sided lamination. Tape laminators, however, do not offer these benefits and are usually limited to encapsulation only of materials less than 1/16 thick. We have developed a cold roll laminator chart to help you compare the models we offer.
