Dual-Mode Thermal Laminators

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Thermal and Cold Versatility for Every Media Type

The Dual-Mode Thermal Laminator is the ultimate finishing tool for businesses that handle a wide variety of printed materials. At Ningbo Ofitech, we recognize that while thermal (hot) lamination is the standard for durability, certain materials—such as old photographs, thermal printer paper, and specialized vinyl—are sensitive to high temperatures and require "Cold" lamination. Our dual-mode machines are engineered with an advanced thermal control system that allows the user to switch between a high-heat mode for permanent bonding and a pressure-only cold mode for delicate assets. This versatility is achieved through a multi-roller design where the rollers can either be heated to a precise 125°C or used at room temperature to activate the adhesive in self-healing cold pouches.

The core technology behind our dual-mode series is the "Rapid-Switch" heating element, which reaches thermal readiness in under 2 minutes. We use high-density silicone rollers that provide uniform pressure across the entire document, eliminating the risk of silvering or air bubbles. For the commercial user, this machine effectively replaces two separate devices, saving valuable desk space and reducing capital expenditure. Whether you are laminating a standard office sign or a priceless historical photo, our dual-mode technology ensures that every document is preserved with the highest degree of clarity and protection.

Universal Finishing for Studios and Schools

Dual-Mode Laminators are the primary choice for Photography and Art Studios where artists frequently work with both heat-sensitive "Gicl茅e" prints and standard marketing materials. They are also essential in Educational Settings, where teachers use hot lamination for durable classroom aids and cold lamination for protecting sensitive student projects or vintage materials. In Corporate Marketing Departments, these machines are used to create everything from glossy brochures (Hot) to temporary window decals and vinyl signage (Cold).

In Public Libraries and Archives, the "Cold" setting is critical for preserving fragile historical documents that would otherwise be destroyed by thermal heat. Small Retail Businesses also benefit from the dual-mode capability, using it to create high-quality, permanent menus and outdoor signs that can withstand the elements. For B2B Distributors, this category is a "best-seller" due to its multi-functional appeal, catering to both the high-end professional and the general office supply market.

  • Q: Why would I use "Cold" lamination instead of "Hot"?
  • A: Cold lamination is essential for items that can be damaged by heat, such as thermal faxes, certain types of ink-jet prints, and old photographs. It uses pressure-sensitive pouches to create a seal.
  • Q: How do I switch between the two modes?
  • A: Our machines feature a simple toggle switch. In "Cold" mode, the heater remains off while the rollers spin. In "Hot" mode, the machine will indicate with a green LED when it has reached the required temperature.
  • Q: Can it handle 250-micron pouches?
  • A: Yes, our dual-mode machines are built with high-torque motors and reinforced rollers to handle the extra pressure and heat required for heavy-duty 250-micron lamination.
  • Q: Does the machine require a carrier sheet?
  • A: No, our high-quality silicone rollers are non-stick. You can feed the pouch directly into the machine, which ensures a more even heat transfer and faster results.
  • Q: What should I do if a document gets jammed?
  • A: All our models include an ABS (Anti-Blocking System) lever. Simply press the lever to release the roller tension and manually pull the document back out safely.
