Are you tired of outsourcing your poster lamination, watching your profits walk out the door? Are you sick of watching scratches, fading, or a single drop of water ruin your flimsy, unprotected prints?
When you need to protect your graphics and make them pop with a professional finish, you need a machine that can handle real jobs. This is it.
Meet the GBC Discovery 80 31″ Laminator. This machine is a legend in print shops, schools, and graphics departments for one reason: it’s a versatile workhorse. GBC built this machine for one thing: to reliably protect, finish, and mount your prints, day in and day out, for years.
This isn’t a flimsy, office-store pouch machine. It’s the foundation of a real in-house finishing department.
Key Features of This Workhorse:
- Hot & Cold Lamination: This is the ultimate in flexibility. Don’t lock yourself into one finish! Run thermal (hot) lamination for a crystal-clear, rock-hard encapsulated finish, or instantly switch to cold (pressure-sensitive) for your heat-sensitive vinyl and custom graphics.
- Production-Ready 31-Inch Width: This is your pro-grade size. Stop wasting time with small pouches. This machine easily handles 24-inch posters, maps, signs, and banners, giving you a perfect, bubble-free finish in one pass.
- Mounting Capability: This isn’t just for film. This machine has the power and the 1/2-inch mounting gap to perfectly mount your prints onto foam board or other rigid substrates, creating durable, ready-to-display signage.
- Built Like a Tank: This machine is all-metal. There are no plastic gears to strip. Its heavy-duty construction and high-quality silicone rollers handle a heavy workload, provide consistent pressure, and ensure a lifespan of decades.
