MC-L2
Inline laminator for added durability and security
Increasing card longevity and security
The MC-L2 laminator module is the ideal solution to enhance the durability and the security of cards printed on the MC310 direct to card printer or XID-M retransfer printer series. Easy to install and operate, the MC-L2 works inline to laminate cards at exceptional speeds, laminating both sides of the card in less than 20 seconds thanks to the simultaneous dual-side lamination process.
The MC-L2 can be easily connected to the MC310 using a connection plinth, which also serves as a useful lockable storage unit for cards and cleaning kits.
The MC-L2 is available in three different configurations to suit any card lamination application:
• Single-sided lower cassette only
• Single-sided upper cassette only
• Dual-sided with both lower and upper cassettes
Key strengths
Ideal for
- National ID cards
- Driving licenses
- Resident cards
- Corporate cards
- Campus / student cards
Options
- Continuous overlay film or patch laminate
- Standard or customized holographic or
clear laminate - Single-sided (upper or lower cassette) or
dual-sided lamination - Front cover lock
Enhancing card security
Once personalized by the printer, cards can be laminated with the MC-L2 by using a heat-sealing film. This film can contain holographic and other Visual Security Elements (VSEs) for enhanced protection. Matica offers a range of standard holographic designs in both patch laminate and continuous film formats. For the ultimate security protection, organisations can opt for a customized holographic laminate with VSEs that are unique to them – this approach is often adopted for government secure documents such as driving licenses and national ID cards.
Reinforcing card durability
Another important reason to laminate pre-personalized cards is to increase the durability and extend the life of the card, thanks to the enhanced mechanical and UV resistance of the lamination material. A card laminated with a 1.0 mil (35 micron) patch can have a lifecycle of up to 10 years – a timeframe often mandated for government/citizen ID schemes.
