POUCH LAMINATOR COMPARISON

USI Government Sales offers several types of pouch laminators, and each is designed to fill different user requirements.  Here are a few things to consider when deciding which laminator is best suited for your application.

How often will the laminator be used?
Look at the "Type" and "Max Pieces Per Day" columns on the chart below.  LD (Light Duty) is recommended for up to fifty pieces per day.  MD (Medium Duty) has a recommended maximum of 100 pieces per day while HD (Heavy Duty) is recommended for over 100 pieces per day.

For over 100 pieces per day, consider purchasing a roll laminator for more efficient and economical lamination.  Click here for our roll laminator comparison chart.  If you still have questions, please feel free to contact us to help answer your questions.

What is the maximum width film that can be used in my laminator?
Refer to the "Max Width" to be sure the laminator accommodates your desired width requirement.

What is the maximum film weight required?
If a particular mil thickness is needed, check "Max Film Weight".

Does the machine mount as well as laminate?
Check the column labeled "Mounting Capabilities" to see if the laminator can mount, the maximum thickness and maximum film widths.
