Key Details
The Case for Budget Laminating
The Crenova earns its place in this comparison through sheer purchase volume. More buyers choose this machine each month than any other laminator reviewed here, which provides a strong signal that it delivers on its basic promise for a large number of buyers. It heats up in 1 to 2 minutes, offers hot and cold modes, and comes with 10 laminating sheets.
Jams are worth planning for. Budget laminators are more prone to misfeeds than machines with better roller alignment and anti-jam mechanisms. The Crenova includes an anti-jam lever, which helps clear a stuck document. For light, occasional use -- laminating a few items per week rather than per day -- this is unlikely to be a significant issue. Buyers who need to run dozens of sheets at a time should consider spending more on the GBC Inspire or the Scotch TL901X.
