A device designed to encase identification cards in a thin layer of plastic serves to protect them from wear, tear, and tampering. This process typically involves heat and pressure to seal the card within a plastic pouch, creating a durable and secure credential. A common example is its use in creating employee badges, student IDs, or access cards.
Protecting credentials from damage and fraudulent alteration is crucial for organizations of all sizes. Durable identification ensures readily verifiable access control, contributing to a secure environment. Furthermore, the professional appearance of a laminated card reflects positively on the issuing organization. This technology has evolved from basic hand-cranked devices to sophisticated, automated systems capable of high-volume production with advanced security features like embedded holograms.
