Fast, simple and affordable tools for mounting, laminating and masking for under £100!
Launching at this years Sign Ireland is a brand new range of manual laminators for signmakers by Atech Limited. Called the Handi Laminator range, it consists of 5 different units of differing sizes and all with a specific job.
The Atech Handi Laminator line of tools is a great addition to any sign or print shop, even with a powered laminator. They are not intended to replace powered laminators but they do make it easier to laminate small graphics and can reduce waste by not having to change the roll in the power laminator just to do an odd job.
All of the tools will laminate and mount pressure sensitive vinyl. The different sizes and types of tools make it possible to choose the right tool for the job. Each shop will benefit by having a variety of tools to work with.
The fabric on all of the tools are easy to replace when they get soiled, cut or worn out.
There are five styles and many sizes to fit the needs of most sign shops.
The HANDI Rivet Tool
These tools are for use on small signs that don't require that the graphic be rolled up to make them easy to handle. The Atech Rivet Tool has a padded edge with felt for going over obstacles such as rivets. Their lightweight and slim design make it easy to work with on small signs. The slim felt edge will apply masking and vinyl.
The HANDI Small Sign ToolThese tools are for use on small signs that don't require that the graphic be rolled up to make them easy to handle. The Atech Small Sign Tool has a cotton-covered edge for laminating. Their lightweight and slim design make it easy to work with on small signs. The slim felt edge will apply masking and vinyl.
The HANDI Laminator Tool
The laminator tool has a roll holder for holding rolled up materials to make them easier to handle. This tool is used for graphics that are otherwise to long to handle unless they are rolled up.
The Laminator Tool comes in sizes from 26" to 64". It is primarily used for working with prints. It will mount cut vinyl but is lacking in the application of masking. It can be done but the other tools are better designed for applying transfer tape.
The HANDI Cut Vinyl Tool
The Cut Vinyl Tool looks very much like the laminator tool with the addition of black felt covering on both edges. Designed to work primarily with cut vinyl, it will apply transfer tape both by pushing the roll ahead of the tool or by placing the roll in the roll holder and applied off the back of the tool.
This tool is the "jack of all trades" tool because it does it all. It comes in two sizes and is limited to 30" width of application.
The HANDI Cradle Tool
The Cradle tool is our latest addition to the Atech manual laminating tools. It is lightweight and is pushed without the need to pick it up. It does very well with masking. It is available in all the sizes of the other tools.
Prices start at only £100 per unit and are available from Atech Limited. For more information, call 01707 373738.
