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 line (400 NG-S, 400 NG-T), and the higher-volume Mercury, Taurus, Castor and Pollux NG families. The Vega 530A sits at the automatic, B2-width end of the Vega ladder.

Choosing a Vega Laminator

Two axes narrow the Vega line for your shop:

• Format width - the 400 series handles B3 sheets (about 16"), while the 530 series (this machine) handles B2 sheets to 20.8".
• Automation and feeding - "A" models like the 530A are automatic single-side; "S" models such as the Vega 530S are manual/semi single-side; "SF" models such as the Vega 400SF add extended feeding.

If your sheets stay within B3, compare the Vega 400A; for B2 automatic finishing, the 530A is the match. Pair any Vega with complementary paper cutters and paper folders on the finishing line.
