Cold Roll Laminator or Hot Laminator? Both hot and cold roll laminators work to preserve your valuable documents/photos, but when it comes to choosing between them, there are certain factors which you should consider.
The most important factor is to think about that what exactly you will be laminating. Cold roll laminator is best when used for documents or photos which are printed using water-based ink. Hot laminators processing of such materials will result in their damage. You want to buy a roll laminator when processing of large-sized materials is required like posters, maps etc. You can also buy a laminator which can do both hot and cold lamination. If you are a very busy person and wants quick results, cold roll laminators will be a good option for you. These laminators do not require warm-up time as hot laminators. There are various thermal laminating machines which can take up more than 10 minutes to heat up and that will be very inconvenient when things need to be done fast. Cost is another important factor. In the short-run cold laminators are less expensive than thermal once but in the long run, cold laminators are a bit more expensive. The supplies of cold laminators cost high than that of thermal. Availability is also one of the important things to think about. Thermal laminators are easy to find and can laminate small and large items from business cards to maps. Cold laminators can be found easily but people may face a problem in looking for a variety of sizes. They might not face such issue when looking to buy roll laminator but it could be a problem when searching for a device that handles pouches.
