Our guide to choosing the right Flatbed Applicator
We have created a guide that we hope will make it easier for you to purchase the right model of flatbed applicator.
What is a flatbed applicator?
A flatbed applicator is a versatile worktable used by sign makers, printers, and the industry to laminate and mount self-adhesive film onto a flat surface with perfect results without bubbles and wrinkles. Flatbed applicators are sometimes also called mounting tables or lamination tables.
What does a flatbed applicator do?
It makes the job and everyday life easier. Our customers typically save up to 85% of working time compared to traditional methods. Additionally, you always get a perfect result every time. This means fewer rejections and savings of expensive materials and working time.
