What to consider when purchasing an A3 laminator

When you decide it’s time to purchase an A3 laminator, there are some features you should be considering. These include:
  • Warm-up times and laminating speeds
  • Laminating pouch thickness
  • Hot and cold lamination
  • Safety features

Warm-up time and laminating speed of A3 laminators

Warm-up time and laminating speed of A3 laminators determines how quickly you can get through your laminating job! A3 laminators can have warm-up times that range from 60 seconds to 5 minutes and laminating speeds of up to 400mm per minute! You will want to look for an A3 laminator that warms up quickly and can laminate at least 250mm per minute.

Pouch thicknesses that are compatible with A3 laminators

Not all A3 laminators support every laminating pouch thickness, so you will need to check what thickness is suited to the specific laminator. Basic A3 laminators will be compatible with pouches of 80 - 125 microns, while high-end laminators can support up to 250 microns! If the pouch is too thick for your laminator, it can damage your document and machine.

Read more on the different thicknesses on our laminating pouches page.

A3 laminators that offer hot and cold lamination

Some A3 laminators offer hot and cold lamination, so you will need to consider what type of lamination your document and pouch requires. Hot lamination applies heat and pressure to seal the pouch. This provides a strong and durable finish for your documents and certificates.

Alternatively, you might like to use cold lamination, which uses pressure to seal the pouch instead! This is best for heat-sensitive items, such as photographs and stickers. However, this is not as durable as hot lamination.

Safety features you may want an A3 laminator to have!

A3 laminators come with various safety features that will help prevent overheating, burns and any damage to the machine. We have listed some features below:
  • Auto shut-off means your A3 laminator will turn off after a period of inactivity to prevent overheating and the risk of fire hazards.
  • A3 laminators with anti-jam technology will have a jam-release or reverse button that will allow you to clear any stuck pouches. This helps avoid damage and motor strain to your laminator.
  • Indicator lights or sound alerts will let you know when the A3 laminator is ready for use, so you’re not inserting pouches too early! These will also let you know if there are any errors such as jams and overheating.
Considering all of these features will help you decide what exactly you want in an A3 laminator and will lead to you making the best decision.
