Performance of the GBC Catena 65 Roll Laminator

The GBC Catena is designed for professional thermal lamination and mounting applications up to 27 inches wide. Equipped with variable speed control from 1 to 8.5 feet per minute, it allows operators to match output speed with film thickness and media type for consistent, high quality results. The heated nip rollers work in combination with the pull roller system to activate adhesive evenly while maintaining proper tension as film exits the machine. With support for 1.5 to 10 mil thermal films, the Catena 65 handles encapsulation, graphics finishing, and in house display production efficiently.

The Catena 65 Roll Laminator is backed with an intelligent control panel featuring AutoSpeed and programmable presets, helping streamline repeat jobs and reduce setup time. Its integrated gapping system enables smooth mounting of boards up to 1/4 inch thick, expanding capability beyond standard lamination. The pivoting feed table and autogrip shafts simplify film loading and changeovers, while the optional rewind kit supports cold film applications when required. Built for dependable operation in print shops, schools, and corporate environments, the Catena 65 delivers controlled performance and reliable finishing quality.
