Film Rolls

During the lamination process, roll laminators usually use two rolls. One roll is on top and one roll is on the bottom. These rolls then slide onto metal bars and placed in the machine and feed through it. The most common core size found on lamination film in the USS is typically one inch. A larger core is used for larger format laminators. This diameter is usually 2.25 to 3 inches. The film is usually available in 1.5, 3, 5, 7, and 10 mil thicknesses. The higher numbers indicate the thicker films.
