Product Description
The GBC Spire III 44T and 64T take lamination to a new level. With modern, industrial design and extensive feature sets, the Spire III 44T & 64T provide cost effective, high quality lamination unsurpassed by others in their class. All steel construction promises long-term durability and reliability while the built-in sophistication ensures a professionally finished job – thermal or cold – every time.
Running at a maximum speed of 20 feet per minute with 4" heat rollers, the Spire III machines are fast and retain heat better for longer runs. Even beginners will find the Spire III easy-to-use with a user-friendly control panel and auto grip, easy-load supply shafts for no-hassle film loading. Designed with an eye for increasing versatility, a 2" mounting gap allows for mounting of thicker substrates while optional unwinds and rewinds and roll-to-roll capabilities can be easily added later.
