MC-L lamination module

A laminator or lamination module like MC-L is a device that adds a thin layer of PVC to the top and bottom of the card through heat. In this way, the final product is resistant to water, tearing, folding and other physical and mechanical hazards and its lifespan is also increased. Also, laminated products can be washed.

In general, the advantages of lamination are:

• Preventing the card from creasing
• Preventing the card from staining
• Protecting the card from sunlight
• Preventing the card from darkening and color-fading
• Avoiding fingerprints on the card

The MC-L lamination module with the full name of MC-L Matica EDI secure was designed in response to the pressing demand for extra secure, durable and tamper-resistant cards.

In addition to its easy installation and setup, this module also has great speed. Benefiting from the simultaneous dual-side lamination printing process, this machine enables to laminate both sides of the card in less than 20 seconds. The MC-L laminator is available in two versions, both of which cover a wide range of your needs:

• In-line version: It can be added to the Matica MC660 card printer through the connection plate included with the lamination unit.
• Stand-alone version: It includes an external input hopper for autonomous operation.

Enhanced security with laminated printing by the MC-L

The pre-personalized cards are laminated using the MC-L by a heat-sealing film. This film can be either clear or contain hologram and other visual security elements (VSE) for enhanced security. Matica has a wide range of patches and laminates films under chromXpert, with or without holograms.

Custom design or generic holographic foils help to protect the cards against tampering. In security terms, this lamination provides an extra layer of protection – crucial for government credentialing, for organizations with high-level sensitive security requirements and everyday secure documents such as driving licenses.

Great durability of laminated cards

A bonus spin-off lies in the increased durability and extended life of the card, which arises from the enhanced mechanical and UV resistance of the lamination material. Resident cards, corporate physical access cards and campus cards for students/academic staff are constantly in use and exposure to sunlight as well as changes in temperature. By laminating them with MC-L laminator you will increase the card’s life cycle and add a professional finish to the card.

Both models, in-line and stand-alone, are available in three different configurations: single-side lower cassette, single-side upper cassette and dual sided for enhanced flexibility.
