Laminator Fans Soon to Be Hot over Cool Features
Fellowes Introduces Compact, Safe Personal Laminator
Itasca, Ill. (July 26, 2005) - The new baby's photo, the work holiday calendar,
the soccer schedule, the office phone directory - there are hundreds of items
to laminate in the office and at home. Laminators help us preserve the memories
and documents we reference and celebrate, but it hasn't always been convenient
or safe to protect these items - until now. Today, Fellowes, Inc. introduces
its new Multi-Purpose Laminator, a product that delivers superior safety and
design solutions, in addition to "all-in-one" hot and cold lamination
technology.
Unlike any other conventional laminator currently on the market, the
Multi-Purpose Laminator features a state-of-the-art temperature management
system called HeatGuard TechnologyT. While in use, HeatGuard traps heat inside
the laminator through a double wall of insulation to keep the exterior from
becoming too hot to touch - a common safety concern in other models.
"Fellowes spent numerous hours researching how people use laminators, what they
think about laminating and what they want improved," said Jennifer Kenoian,
marketing manager at Fellowes, Inc. "The result is a new, easy-to-use personal
laminator suited for both home and office use that incorporates a
consumer-driven design and superior features."
The Fellowes Multi-Purpose Laminator also allows people to perform both hot and
cold lamination. While hot lamination is more widely used, cold lamination is
needed for items printed on thermal paper, such as ultrasounds and concert or
sports tickets. Instead of purchasing two different laminators, one for hot
application and one for cold, the Multi-Purpose Laminator provides the easy
answer for lamination needs in one machine.
The Multi-Purpose Laminator also delivers consistent, high-quality lamination
through stable temperature management. The ready light turns on when the ideal
lamination temperature is reached and the temperature remains constant for
perfect results.
Form and Function
"Many of the consumers we heard from complained about the bulkiness of machines
and how difficult they were to store and carry, due to the power cords and
overall size," Kenoian added. "The Multi-Purpose Laminator is designed for
optimal storage, travel and style."
The bottom of the machine is shaped to allow the cord to be wrapped and stored
neatly. The innovative design also allows the laminator to stand upright when
not in use for space-saving vertical storage on desks, kitchen counters or
worktables and features a handle for portable ease. The consumer-inspired,
slim-line design boasts white coloring with blue accents and an arched shape
that is perfect for any home or office décor.
Additional features on the Multi-Purpose Laminator include a dual-purpose tray
that serves as a paper guide for letter size or smaller documents as well as a
protective dust cover when the laminator is not in use. It is also equipped
with a release lever to easily reposition or remove documents.
The Fellowes Multi-Purpose Laminator comes with a starter kit of eight pouches
in five key sizes and will be available for $79.95 at major office products
retailers nationwide in October 2005.
