What Pouch Thickness Can It Use?

This machine laminates using pouches up to 250 micron per side, or 500 micron total. It is suitable for standard A2 laminating pouches, A3 laminating pouches, A4 laminating pouches and smaller pouch sizes used within the A2 feed width, but it must be used with a suitable Lifejacket pouch carrier.

Important Laminating Advice

The Peak PE-452 must be used with a Lifejacket pouch carrier or cardboard pouch carrier at all times for all items. This helps protect the pouch, protect the contents and reduce the risk of pouch jams, especially when laminating mixed materials or smaller items.

This model is ideal 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, a pouch carrier should always be used. A pouch carrier is also required for uneven items such as children’s artwork, collages or mixed-material projects.

Using the correct pouch carrier, pouch thickness and temperature setting helps reduce the risk of pouch jams, poor results or machine damage. Failure to use a suitable carrier may invalidate the warranty if technical support is required as a result.
