Lamination Made Simple
From start to finish, the GBC Foton 30 simplifies the lamination process. Just place documents in the tray, press start and walk away. You can save up to 98% of your time compared to manual pouch lamination.
No More Pouches
This machine uses auto-threading film cartridges, which means you no longer need to open individual pouches and feed them one-by-one. Plus, the cartridge can only load one way, which eliminates film loading errors.
Fully-Automatic
Create flawless documents at the touch of a button. The GBC Foton 30 automatically detects film thickness, straightens papers as it feeds, controls spacing and trims the finished documents for neat and even results.
Introducing the world’s first fully-automated desktop laminator with auto-cartridge! The GBC Foton 30 does all the work for you. Simply place your documents in the tray, press start and walk away.
- Take a hands-off approach to lamination. The Foton 30 feeds, laminates and trims automatically, giving you time to multitask on other projects.
- Place documents in the tray, press run and walk away. It will automatically start once warmed up. Plus, our 3-5 mil film cartridges are auto-threading for stress-free film loading.
