Skandacor – One Machine, More Possibilities: How One Laminating Machine Can Help You Do More With Less

Combining Multiple Finishing Processes in One System, the LAMpro Lion 22A Gives Print Shops More Ways to Expand Capabilities Without Crowding the Production Floor

ROCHESTER | NY – November 2026 – Skandacor is highlighting the LAMpro Lion 22A, a multifunctional laminating and embellishment system designed to help print providers expand their finishing capabilities without adding multiple standalone machines to their operations. Combining single-sided lamination, duplex lamination, duplex encapsulation, and SLEEKpro Digital foiling into a single footprint, the Lion 22A provides commercial print shops and digital providers with the versatility to handle diverse finishing requirements.

Comprehensive System Specifications and Capabilities

The LAMpro Lion 22A integrates multiple finishing processes with production-focused engineering:

• Multi-Application Finishing: Supports single-sided lamination, duplex lamination, duplex encapsulation, and SLEEKpro digital foiling, including foil application over raised UV.

• Automated Feeding: Equipped with an automatic feeder featuring a 13.7-inch pile height to support uninterrupted sheet feeding.

• Dual Heated Nip System: Drives simplex and duplex lamination, encapsulation, and SLEEKpro applications at operating temperatures up to 302°F (150°C).

• Production Speeds: Runs single-sided lamination at speeds up to 49 feet per minute and duplex lamination up to 40 feet per minute, varying with film and stock thickness.

• Substrate and Media Versatility: Accommodates paper stocks from 120 to 400 gsm and film thicknesses ranging from 1.0 to 10.0 mil.

• Integrated Trimming: Features an onboard flying knife for single-sided lamination workflows (Note: an auxiliary trimmer is required for duplex laminate cutting and is sold separately).

• Power Specifications: Operates on a standard 220–240 V, 30 A, single-phase power supply.

Digital Foiling and Dimensional Embellishments

Beyond standard film lamination, the LAMpro Lion 22A supports SLEEKpro digital foiling, enabling shops to apply metallic, holographic, and specialty foil effects to digitally printed jobs.

The system also supports foil application directly over raised UV coatings, pairing high-gloss reflective foils with dimensional textures to maximize tactile and visual contrast. These capabilities create value-add opportunities for premium business cards, event invitations, luxury packaging components, and promotional brochures using existing in-house print devices.

Automated Sheet Feeding for Unattended Operation

To reduce operator intervention during long runs, the system includes an automated feeder with a 13.7-inch pile capacity. The deep-pile mechanism stabilizes sheet separation and feeding, freeing operators to manage trimming, quality control, or secondary staging tasks simultaneously.

Maximizing Equipment ROI and Shop Floor Space

By consolidating lamination, encapsulation, and specialty foiling into one unit, print operations can pursue high-margin decorative work while conserving capital and valuable floor space.

“Print providers are always looking for ways to expand what they can offer without adding more equipment to their production floor. That’s what makes the LAMpro Lion 22A such a practical solution. It gives shops the flexibility to handle everything from everyday lamination to specialty foil applications with one machine. At the end of the day, it’s about helping our customers get more value out of their equipment while creating new opportunities for their business,” said Brad Drever, Managing Director at Skandacor.
