One of the major disadvantages of hot rolling is that the temperature of the machine can reach up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Some materials may be damaged at such high temperatures or colors may fade due to high heat. Special protective covers and special types of lamination bags can help to reduce this effect. Only certain materials should be used with a hot laminator.

Cold Laminating Machines

Cold rolling mills are cheaper than hot rolling mills because they do not require a heating device. Many people find that a high quality cold rolling mill is a superior choice for their business as they are very easy to use. Articles that have a lot of ink coverage often look better when laminated with a cold laminator because the colors do not bleed.

The pressure used to laminate the elements comes from rolling elements through a set of rollers that generate a lot of pressure, ensuring that the elements come out without air bubbles or defects.
