The GBC Catena 35 is a roll laminator — sometimes referred to as a roll-feed laminator — designed to apply protective or decorative film to documents, prints, and other flat materials using either heat or cold pressure. GBC is a well-established manufacturer of finishing equipment, producing laminators, binders, shredders, and related office and print-room machinery for commercial, educational, and reprographic markets worldwide.
This machine operates in both hot and cold lamination modes, making it suitable for a wide range of substrates including heat-sensitive and photo-friendly materials. The heating system uses two heated rollers, and warm-up time from cold is approximately ten minutes. Laminating speed is variable up to 3,000 mm per minute, with an approximate cycle time of six seconds for an A4 sheet at 75 microns — a useful reference point for estimating throughput on standard document runs.
The maximum laminating width is 330 mm, accommodating formats up to that dimension, while the overall machine width is 685 mm. Roll film up to 250 microns per side can be processed, and the unit handles material stacks or substrates up to 6.0 mm in laminating thickness. Power requirements are 220–240 V AC, making it directly compatible with standard European single-phase supply.
Practical features include anti-jam technology to reduce film wastage and downtime, and a manual reverse function for clearing or repositioning material when needed. The machine weighs 37.8 kg and has external dimensions of 685 × 330 × 457 mm (W × H × D). The unit carries serial number PCG0226 and is located in Germany, available as used stock from 2018.
