Just the fact that paperwork can become more durable and better looking is reason enough for most homes, schools and businesses to put a laminating machine on their must have list.

There are different types of laminators each with the right qualities for different sized jobs. For example, the photo laminator is a small, compact unit that sits on a desk top. The thermal heating process is contained within the machine so the exterior remains cool. This is idea for photos, IDs, badges, business cards, or anything smaller than about 4 x 6.
