Laminator

Fellows Jupiter 2 125

Used to temperature seal paper items between two layers of plastic. This machine will allow you to laminate cards and other documents up to 11”x17” in order to increase water resistance, preserve, or make durable for re-use.

What is Lamination?

Lamination is the process of securing flat objects such as photographs or documents between two layers of closed laminate plastic. This helps to preserve items for longer amounts of time than the material alone is expected to last. Laminated objects are less likely to rip and tear and are also able to withstand temporary contact with water and other moisture.
