Laminating White vinyl to the back of 6mm/0.24in clear acrylic

[uv]

Hello everyone,

We are looking to buy a new laminator and would like to know if anyone has any success with laminating vinyl to 6mm/0.24in acrylic sheets.

We currently apply it wet but would love to just roll it thru

Obviously the height difference in acrylic makes it hard to achieve full adhesion to the sheet without bubbles.

We have a old laminator that only can adjust height by notches rather than a roller adjustment.

Just wondering if anyone can do this dry??

Have you looked into/have room for an application table?

We have a Rollover application table that works great for that application.

Any reputable roll laminator will do it, no problem. We do it all the time on our 10+ year old GBC laminator.

As White Haus says - any reputable laminator will do it. Look at a GFP or Kala. These are both top notch and will adjust the nip infinitely to any size. The GFP is manual and the Kala has motors that lift and adjust the nip.

I do laminate anything flat on my 65" laminator, even up to 1/2", what I do is stick the edge of the vinyl, feed about 2" into laminator, flip the vinyl to go around the roller, then remove the liner/backing and feed material, it will be no bubbles.
