Professional Lamination Services: Why We Invested in the MEFU 1600mm Laminator

Why Professional Lamination Services Matter

Thomas Dean Design has recently invested in the MEFU 1600mm pneumatic laminator—a professional-grade finishing solution that transforms how we deliver professional lamination services to our clients. This isn’t just equipment. It’s a commitment to delivering superior quality and expanding our in-house capabilities.

The MEFU 1600mm features a heated top roller, pneumatic pressure control, and includes a compressor—everything needed for professional lamination. With a maximum lamination width of 1600mm (64 inches), we can now laminate large-format prints, signage, marketing materials, and specialty products with precision and consistency.

This investment directly supports our 2025 growth goals: developing our production facility and expanding service offerings. By bringing professional lamination services in-house, we reduce turnaround times, improve quality control, and offer clients faster delivery on finished products. Learn more about our signage services and how lamination enhances durability.

What Professional Lamination Services Enable Us to Do

Professional lamination protects printed materials while enhancing their visual appeal. The heated top roller activates pressure-sensitive adhesives, ensuring smooth, wrinkle-free finishes on every project.

With pneumatic pressure control, we achieve consistent results across different material thicknesses—from delicate photo prints to rigid signage panels. The machine handles materials up to 23mm thick, making it ideal for mounting, protecting, and finishing a wide range of products. According to the Printing Industry Association, professional lamination increases print longevity by up to 10 years.

Previously, we outsourced lamination work. Now? We control the entire process. This means faster turnarounds, better quality assurance, and the ability to offer premium professional lamination services to clients across North West England. Vehicle graphics, exhibition displays, menu boards, promotional posters—all finished in-house with professional results. Explore our vehicle graphics services to see lamination in action.

Better Quality, Faster Delivery, Competitive Advantage

In-house professional lamination services transform our service offering. Clients benefit from faster project completion without compromising quality. We can now offer same-day or next-day finishing on many projects—a significant competitive advantage.

The heated roller technology ensures professional results every time. No wrinkles. No silvering. No sliding. Just perfectly finished products that reflect our commitment to excellence. This capability strengthens our position as a comprehensive one-stop creative and production partner.

For businesses needing printed materials with professional finishing—signage, marketing collateral, photo prints, workwear labels, or specialty products—our professional lamination services ensure superior results. We’re now equipped to handle complex finishing requirements that previously required external suppliers. Check out our custom workwear services for finishing options.
