(1 Products)What Is a GBC Laminator?
Protect your documents from wayward spills and preserve them from everyday wear and tear with a GBC laminator. Designed for the hustle and bustle of an office, laminators can handle large sheets with multiple documents at a time to keep up with your business needs. GBC thermal laminators work by combining heat, pressure and an internal roller mechanism to apply a thin plastic cover to paper documents or other items, sealing them securely inside. You can safely use laminators on most types of everyday paper, such as printer and copy paper, construction paper and more.
These machines are perfect for schools, offices and busy print shops. GBC laminators are an especially fantastic option for educational supplies, since you can use dry erase markers over them repeatedly without ever using more paper.

What Factors Should You Consider When Purchasing a GBC Thermal Laminator?
Keep these considerations in mind when purchasing a GBC laminator.
Footprint
Save space without sacrificing document size by choosing a GBC thermal laminator with a small footprint. This allows you to laminate easily on desks or other tables without losing necessary working space.
Protective Shield
Choose a GBC heat laminator with an optional protective shield to guarantee cooling documents after the lamination process aren’t an issue. Uphold workplace safety by installing the shield to product specifications.
Document Longevity
Lamination is great for documents that will be exposed to a lot of wear and tear, such as classroom materials, chore lists, artworks or other items that may be passed around frequently. Lamination can protect documents for years. Official documents like birth certificates should not be laminated, however, as lamination makes it difficult to prove authenticity. Extremely delicate papers like archive clippings should also not be used with any laminator, since the high pressure and heat can potentially damage a document.
