It’s perfectly natural to want to make a smart deal when shopping for office supplies. Instead of buying a separate thermal binding machine and laminating machine, you can easily opt for a thermal binding laminator. This device performs both functions and has two different slots for this purpose. It is worth discussing whether such a machine is a productive and profitable option.

A two-in-one device saves a lot of space and this is a great benefit, especially if you have a small office. In addition, it is much easier and more convenient to simply glue the finished bound book into the slot for lamination. This also speeds up the production process. You will be able to make laminated books much faster and this is certainly productively efficient.

It is worth asking if a thermal binding laminator can produce strong, durable, clean and presentable looking documents, books and brochures. Generally, the binding system of a two-in-one device does not perform badly compared to that of a traditional computer. There are no weird features that might work. This is applicable to the laminator as well. Still, it should be noted that different models from different brands produce books of varying quality.

This type of machine is functional and fast to work with, but may not have the capabilities of separate thermal binding and laminating machines. Most models have a capacity of no more than 200 pages. In addition, they are capable of laminating books with a maximum thickness of 5 mm. This is certainly restrictive, if you intend to produce large books.

In general, the laminator with a thermal binder is a practical option. A good model should produce good quality documents. Still, given the compactness and double capacity of the device, it has a restricted capacity. Therefore, it is suitable only for certain uses.
