Beyond Roll Media: Mounting Rigid Boards With Your 28mm Double Sided Roll To Roll Laminator
In the wide-format industry, your equipment's true value isn't measured by how fast it runs, but by how many different, high-margin jobs it can handle. Limiting your Roll to Roll Laminator to only flexible media leaves significant revenue on the table.
The secret to maximizing profitability lies in one simple measurement: the 28mm (1.1") nip opening.
This capacity transforms your machine from a single-function laminator into a versatile Double Sided finishing station, making you the go-to provider for complex rigid signage and display graphics.
When a customer needs an exhibit graphic or a durable store sign, they need mounting. Traditionally, this requires a separate, dedicated cold press or a specialized vacuum table. Your Roll to Roll Laminator is engineered to eliminate that need.
The Feature: Max Lam Thickness: 28mm / 1.1"
The Value: A thick nip opening transforms your Roll to Roll Laminator into a high-value mounting machine. 28mm of clearance allows you to effortlessly feed and mount graphics onto heavy, rigid substrates like Gator Board, PVC, foam core, and even thicker wood or acrylic panels.
Consolidation: You save floor space and capital by using one machine for both flexible Roll to Roll lamination and rigid Board Mounting.
Higher Margins: Mounting projects often come with better margins than simple vinyl lamination, directly improving your bottom line.
Mounting thick boards requires immense, uniform pressure to ensure the adhesive fully bonds across the entire surface. With thick materials, even slight pressure variations can lead to expensive bubbles and lifting.
The Imperative: Uniform, Repeatable Pressure
The Solution: Your machine utilizes a Pneumatic (air-pressure) up and down system. Unlike manual crank systems, the pneumatic rollers ensure that the pressure is perfectly even across the full 1630mm width. This precision is essential when mounting a 20mm thick board at production speeds (Max Speed: 12m/min).
The Benefit: You achieve a flawless, edge-to-edge bond on your rigid substrates—meaning zero waste and reliable high quality.
While "Double Sided" often refers to encapsulating a print for mounting rigid boards, it signifies your machine’s superior capability to handle complex workflows and materials.
Complex Mounting: Your machine easily handles double-sided graphics required for window displays or hanging signage. You can mount a graphic on the front of a board and immediately laminate the back (or vice-versa) to protect the material from warping or bowing.
High-Speed Lamination: When running Roll to Roll jobs, the Front and Rear Control Panel provides true workflow efficiency. An operator can manage the material output at the rear, making instant speed (up to 12m/min) or tension adjustments without pausing the run—a key factor when handling 1630mm wide rolls.,
When switching from flexible film to rigid mounting, the Smart System ensures a fast changeover:
| Step | Smart System Feature Utilized | Benefit to Board Mounting |
|---|---|---|
| Material Prep | Top Heated (60°C) Assist | Gentle warmth softens the mounting adhesive, ensuring better "wet out" and a stronger initial tack on cold substrates. |
| Setup | Pneumatic Up and Down | Rapidly and precisely set the nip gap to the exact 28mm thickness of your board. No tedious hand-cranking required. |
| Finishing | Trimmer Holder (Integrated) | After mounting the graphic, the integrated blades can immediately slit the edge, eliminating the need to move the heavy board to a separate cutting table. |
Transform Your Finishing Department
By leveraging the 28mm mounting capacity and the precision of the Smart System features like pneumatic pressure, you are turning a laminator into a high-utility finishing center. This versatility—from high-speed vinyl lamination to high-margin rigid board mounting—is how you ensure maximum ROI on your equipment investment.
