Best For

The GBC 480HS A3 is best suited to high-volume A3 and A4 laminating in busy office, small office and workplace environments. It is a good choice for protecting important documents, producing professional-looking notices, laminating instruction sheets, creating reusable reference materials, finishing everyday office projects and laminating larger A3 display materials.

What Pouch Thickness Can It Use?

This machine laminates using 75 to 175 micron pouches, with a maximum pouch thickness of 175 micron per side, or 350 micron total. It is suitable for standard A3 laminating pouches, A4 laminating pouches and smaller pouch sizes used within the A3 feed width.

Important Laminating Advice

If you intend to laminate small, multiple items inside a larger pouch, such as flash cards, or odd-shaped items such as stars, speech bubbles or cut-outs, we recommend using a Lifejacket pouch carrier. A Lifejacket is also recommended for uneven items such as children’s artwork, collages or mixed-material projects.

Using the correct pouch carrier for these applications helps reduce the risk of pouch jams, poor results or machine damage. Failure to use a suitable carrier for these types of items may invalidate the warranty if technical support is required as a result.

Yes. The GBC 480HS A3 is designed for high-volume office use and has a maximum daily volume of up to 25 items per day. However, for very heavy shared-office, school or high-volume laminating, a more robust heavy-duty laminator or professional laminator may be more suitable.
