About Foliant

Foliant is a Czech manufacturer of B2 and B1 commercial and industrial laminating equipment, including the Gemini, Mercury, Taurus, Vega, and Pollux lines. Mid-State Litho is an authorized Foliant dealer carrying the Gemini tabletop range up through the industrial Mercury, Taurus, and Pollux floor models.

Choosing an Industrial Laminator

Four factors decide the right production laminator: format and sheet size (B2 versus B1), single- versus double-sided (4x4) lamination, film type (gloss, matte, soft-touch, or digital-compatible), and automatic versus manual feed at your throughput. The Mercury 530 NG 4x4 Double on this page is the B2-format, double-sided (4x4) model that laminates both sides in one pass. For one-pass single-sided work, the single-sided Mercury 530 NG covers the same format. Compare it against the other double-sided laminators we stock, and pair it with the rest of your bindery and pressroom supplies.
