SEAL® Launches New, Improved, Ultra Plus Laminators


Elkridge, MD, October 24, 2007 and SGIA 2007, Orlando, Florida, October 24-27, 2007 -- SEAL® brand has added new productivity features to its popular lineup of SEAL Ultra roller laminators. The new and improved Ultras, dubbed the SEAL® Ultra Plus series, will be introduced at the 2007 SGIA trade show in Orlando Florida, this October, and will include the following models:

o SEAL 44 Ultra Plus - 43" working width, dual heat

o SEAL 44 Ultra S Plus - 43" working width, single heat

o SEAL 62 Ultra Plus - 61" working width, dual heat

o SEAL 62 Ultra S Plus - 61" working width, single heat

o SEAL 62 Ultra C Plus - 61" working width, cold

According to SEAL, the new Ultra Plus laminators are aimed at entry-level to intermediate-level image finishers working in low to mid-volume environments. With productivity enhancements, they will replace the current SEAL Ultra laminator line. MSRP's range from $6,495 to $8,995 depending on the model selected.

The key improvements that give these new models their "Plus" designation include the dual heat option and the addition of an automatic take-up shaft for removing release liners. In addition, the 44 Ultra Plus dual heat and 44 Ultra S Plus single heat laminators operate on 110V power. This allows small shops to expand their range of services, offering heat-assisted or heat-activated finishing solutions, such as encapsulating, without the expense of installing 220V electrical service.

Standard features that carry over from the previous Ultra line include: touch-pad controls, adjustable speed--up to 5 fpm for heated units and 10 fpm for cold machines, 3 pre-set temperature selections, 8 pre-set nip openings--from 0 to ½-inch, easy-clean silicone rollers, auto-grip supply shafts, foot controls, an on-board quick reference guide, comprehensive safety systems, and a space-saving portable design.

"Our goal in developing the new Ultra Plus units was to expand capabilities and enhance some of the volume production related features, while maintaining a very cost-effective, compact line of laminators for local and regional sign/display producers," says Dave Conrad, SEAL brand Product Manger for equipment. "We're confident we have succeeded."

The SEAL Ultra Plus laminators are CE/ETL/CSA certified, are backed by authorized SEAL technical and applications support, and come with a one year limited warranty (180 days on rollers). They will be available for shipment immediately following SGIA.
