GFP Logo

GFP Laminators -  The laminator market has been dominated by aquatic creatures (Seals and Orcas) and it's time to get down to business with some people who have their feet firmly planted in the ground.  There are two GFP models - a 63" and 55".  Both have top roll heat-assist, are roll-to-roll ready, easy to operate, and come with installation and training included!  Best of all, the warranty is one year parts AND labor!  No machine stemming from cold water regions can make that claim.   To see a short, very basic video of an operator webbing the machine for a roll-to-roll process, click here.  To see the basic specs on this great new machine, click here.  If you are interested in pricing, or in learning how to become a distributor of this fine new machine, please contact your local Hasco Representative or Jennifer Luu at (216) 763-2143 or via email

 

We've sold a lot of laminators over our years...  This is a great production machine.   Learn more about this machine by visiting our website.  On the Gfp page, you'll find literature, pricing, pictures, and things to consider when shopping for a laminator.
