Patent ID: 8800626

Claim:
A laminating system comprising: a substrate supply station adapted to support a roll of substrate material; a film supply station adapted to support a roll of film material; a drive drum located downstream from the film supply station and around which a portion of the second surface of the film material is adapted to travel during a lamination process; a lamination roller disposed downstream from the substrate supply station and adjacent to the drive drum such as to define a nip between the lamination roller and the drive drum, the nip adapted to receive the substrate material and the film material during the lamination process, the lamination roller adapted to apply a pressure to the drive drum during the lamination process to facilitate lamination of the substrate material to the film material to produce a laminate; an elongate bar disposed downstream of the lamination roller, the elongate bar arranged and configured such that the substrate material of the laminate slidingly engages the elongate bar to thereby curl the laminate around the elongate bar to produce substantially flattened laminate.
