So What Is Xyron Pro?

Xyron Pro is a line of professional glue-adhesive and cold laminating/encapsulating machines designed for medium to high-volume and precision-based applications. Unlike traditional laminators or adhesive applicators, Xyron Pro machines work without heat or electricity, making them extremely safe, simple to use, and environmentally friendly.

They apply an even layer of adhesive or laminate to a variety of materials, including paper, card, thin fabric materials, and foam, without the risk of any heat damage.

Key Features Of Xyron Pro:

Our Xyron Pro machines come in various sizes to suit user requirements but they share common features, which make them popular among professionals.

1. Cold Lamination / Encapsulation Technology:

• Quick and instant to use - no warm-up time required.
• Produces quality results with a clear, smooth laminate finish.

2. Edge-to-Edge Adhesive Application:

• When using any of the Xyron adhesive refill cartridges a uniform layer of glue-adhesive is applied to the entire surface of the material fed through the machine, helping to ensure full coverage.
• Various shapes of material can be fed through and applied with the adhesive, without any mess occurring (i.e. when compared to other alternatives such as sprays - Spraymount for example).
• Perfect for creating professional-quality stickers, labels, and mounting materials instantly.

• Interchangeable 'drop and go' glue-adhesive, laminate, and magnet* (depending on machine type) cartridges available, for creating multiple applications.
