About Foliant Laminators

Foliant builds a full range of industrial laminators, and Mid-State Litho carries the line as an authorized dealer. The Foliant laminating range spans the Vega single-side / SF family (400A, 400SF, 530A, 530S, 530SF), the entry Gemini pair (400 NG-S, 400 NG-T), and the higher-volume Mercury, Taurus, Castor and Pollux NG families. The Vega 400A is the B3 entry into the automatic single-side Vega line.

Choosing a Vega Laminator

Two axes narrow the Vega line for your shop:

• Format width - the 400 series (this machine) handles B3 sheets to about 16"; the 530 series handles B2 sheets to 20.8" (see the Vega 530A).
• Automation and feeding - "A" models like the 400A are automatic single-side; "SF" models such as the Vega 400SF add extended feeding for longer unattended runs.

The 400A is a strong fit for book-cover and short-run finishing - pair it with perfect binders and paper cutters on the bindery line.
