Two different rolls are used in roll laminators. On the top, there is one roll and on the bottom, there is another roll. It uses metal mandrel on which the film is kept in the slid position. Before using, the film is wound through the roll laminator.
After it gets fully heated, any material or document can be placed into the laminator.
