ProSEAL ® 44 Pouch Board Laminator
ENCAPSULATING USING A ProSEAL FLEXIBLE POUCH
Refer to the instruction sheet packed with each
box for specific information on encapsulating
ProSEAL Flexible Pouches.
In addition, refer to the instruction sheet for
information on Compatible Media, Process
Conditions and technical information.
The ProSEAL Flexible Pouch consists of two
pieces of film that are hinged at one end, along
a short side. Separate the two pieces starting
at the end opposite the hinge. Take care not to
break the hinged seal.
1. Insert the article to be laminated in the
pouch so there is at least a 1/8" (3.5mm)
board around each of the sides. This
ensures that moisture never reaches the
image.
2. Place the pouch with the image on the sled
included with the Flexible Pouches or
ProSEAL Sled.
3. Smooth out any wrinkles with the side of
your hand or a soft flexible squeegee.
4. Tape the leading edge of the pouch to the
sled using masking tape.
Note: The ProSEAL Sled is used to assist in the
handling of large Flexible Pouches. It is made of
materials that will not damage or cause excessive
wear to your ProSEAL Laminator.
5. Adjust the Control Knob to the 3/16" (5mm)
setting for the ProSEAL Sled.
6. Make sure that the LED indicator is
constantly ON indicating that the machine is
up to temperature.
7. Slowly insert the sled with the Flexible
Pouch on top into the inlet opening.
8. Ensure that the sled is centered and
straight. A gentle push may be required to
start the sled into the laminator.
9. Hold the edge of the sled until it is engaged,
and the laminator begins pulling it on its
own.
10. The sled should feed through the laminator
and automatically exit at the rear of the
laminator.
CAUTION! The Sled will be hot! Allow it to
lie flat and cool before removing the tape.
If there is any dirt or adhesive on the surface of
the board, it can be removed by dampening a
lint free cloth with Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) and
wiping the surface.
CAUTION! Always use care when using
Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA)! IPA is very flammable.
The flash point of IPA is 11 (51.8 ).The self-
ignition temperature is 400 (752 ).
