The maximum size of the media that the laminator can operate with.
—
A0. One of the largest conventional formats, provides a size of 1189x841 mm. It is found exclusively in hi-end roll laminators (see "Product Type").
—
A1. The size of the A1 sheet is 841x594 mm — half of the A0 sheet. Also typical for roll models.
—
A2. Sheet size 594x420 mm, approximately corresponds to the spread of the newspaper. This format is used not only in roll devices, but also in some professional pouch laminators.
—
A3. A sheet measuring 420x297 mm, similar in size to a spread of a magazine. A3 is the most popular format among modern laminators: even for simple work with common media, it is sometimes necessary to seal A3-sheet with film, and larger media are used relatively rarely. It is also the smallest format found in roll laminators.
—
A4. The most known modern paper format is 297x210 mm, a classic sheet for documents. However, for a number of reasons, this option is less common in laminators than A3.
—
A5. Sheet size 210x148 mm, half of the classic A4. Used in models designed for small format media — postcards, information cards, etc.
— A6. The smallest format used consumer grade laminators
...nowadays. Provides a size of 148x105 mm, which approximately corresponds to a standard photo of 10x15 cm. In addition to photos, A6-format devices are widely used for sealing passes, badges and other similar documents.
Note that the maximum format value may not precisely correspond to the actual media size that can be passed through the device. Usually it limited only with the width of the media, and this limitation can be both on the short side of the sheet (for example, 105 mm for A6) or on the long side (420 mm for the A3 model; this is mainly typical for roll models). The length can be almost any — the length of an pouch or a film in a roll would be enough.
