GBC Velocity Automatic A4 Laminator for Offices, Schools and High Volume Use

The GBC Velocity Automatic A4 Laminator is a compact desktop roll-film laminator designed to save time and effort in offices, schools and busy workplace environments. It is ideal for laminating reports, certificates, notices, ID cards, teaching resources, signage, classroom materials and other frequently handled documents up to A4 width.

Unlike a standard pouch laminator, the GBC Velocity uses a unique GBC roll film system, so there is no individual pouch loading or manual trimming required. Simply feed each sheet into the machine and it automatically aligns, laminates and trims the document for a neat, professional finish. With fast warm-up, automatic trimming, cold lamination mode and a compact desktop footprint, it is a practical choice for users who need regular, professional-quality lamination with less manual handling.

Important Laminating Advice

The GBC Velocity Automatic A4 Laminator is a roll-film laminator and must be used with compatible GBC Velocity laminating film rolls. It is not designed for standard laminating pouches or pouch carriers.

The machine processes one document at a time. For smaller items such as ID cards or small cut pieces, ensure they are suitable for the machine’s minimum size and feed requirements before laminating. For longer materials, the machine can laminate banners up to A4 width.

Using the correct GBC Velocity film roll, film thickness setting and feed method helps reduce the risk of jams, poor results or machine damage. The cold lamination mode should only be used with compatible GBC cold film rolls.
