A cold laminator is a device used to apply a protective layer of plastic film to documents, photos, or other materials without the use of heat. This process helps to preserve the items, making them more durable and resistant to moisture, dirt, and fading. Cold laminators are often used in offices, schools, and print shops for various applications, including creating signs, menus, and ID cards. Unlike hot laminators, which require heat to bond the film to the material, cold laminators use adhesive on the film itself. This makes them safer for heat-sensitive items, such as certain types of paper or photographs. Cold laminators are available in various sizes and can handle different thicknesses of materials, making them versatile tools for both personal and professional use.
