Thermal Lamination Machine

A thermal lamination machine is a device that uses heat to fuse a layer of protective film onto a paper or plastic substrate
1
. It is commonly used to protect printed surfaces, such as product labels, from damage in storage and transit, or to give product packaging moisture-resistant qualities
1
. The process involves using a film coated with a temperature-sensitive adhesive, which is applied to the substrate using a process called extrusion coating
1
. When the film is passed through a system of heated rollers, the adhesive melts and sticks the film firmly onto the substrate

Some key features of thermal lamination machines include:
Versatility: Thermal lamination machines can be used with various materials, such as paper, cardboard, fabric, and photos
3
.
Protection: The process helps protect documents from wear and tear, enhances their appearance, and can make them more resistant to spills and tears
4
.
Speed: Thermal lamination is a faster process than wet lamination, as the drying time for the adhesive is much less
