Hobby / personal use laminators: These laminators have only two rollers, the "pull" rollers, located behind the heat source. It is necessary to manually insert the carrier into the laminator slowly so that it passes evenly over the heat source before being caught by the "pull" rollers. We recommend two-roller laminators only if you have a very limited budget or plan to use the laminator only occasionally.

Commercial laminators: These are four-roller laminators, with both "feed" rollers and "pull" rollers. All of the commercial laminators we carry will laminate pouches up to 10 mils thick. They are available in 4", 9", 12" and 13" sizes. The PL12 laminator is our office favorite at Laminator Warehouse. Ten years ago we set one up for testing, and have used it extensively day after day ever since.
