Evolis card lamination module: a must for protecting all your cards
The CLM (Card Lamination Module) can be used in stand-alone mode or in conjunction with your card printer to provide additional protection for your graphically personalized and encoded cards. It protects them (single-sided or double-sided) from wear and tear associated with their use (dust, UV, rubbing, scratching, etc.), and from the risks of fraud and forgery. Depending on your needs and the level of protection required, you can choose between different types of film and security elements, which can be combined with each other.
The extension of your card printer
After personalization, your cards are laminated. This first stage of graphic personalization (visual elements in color or monochrome) and electrical personalization (encoding) is carried out by your printer. By adding a card lamination module, you protect the printed card (single- or double-sided), before handing it over to the cardholder.
The Evolis CLM is available as an option on our product Primacy 2 and Agilia (retransfer technology) printers.
How does the card lamination module work?
Lamination is based on a thermal transfer process and consists of several stages.
- The card is transported in the module to the roller, which is heated to 180°C
- The film is unwound from the roller and glued to the card
- In the case of double-sided lamination, the card is turned over and the previous operation repeated
- It then passes through the leveller, which adjusts its planarity by applying pressure
- Finally, the card is ejected into the hopper, ready for use

The module reaches a speed of 215 cards/hour single-sided and 110 cards/hour double-sided.
