Crenova 13-Inch Laminator with Touchscreen, Hot and Cold Modes, ABS Jam Release
Product description
The 13-inch laminating width gives the Crenova laminator room for documents, photos, certificates, and larger-format projects. Its touchscreen controls six laminating modes, including hot and cold options, so you can choose a setting for the material and finish you need.
A 90-second warm-up and an ABS jam-release function make it practical for regular home, office, and school projects. Use it to protect everyday papers or add a foil finish to invitations and custom work.
Best use cases
For protecting certificates, photos, and documents, select one of the four thermal thickness settings, from 3–6 mil. The 13-inch maximum width also suits larger pieces, such as posters, that need more room than standard pages. Cold lamination is designed for thermal-paper documents that should not be exposed to heat, while foil lamination adds a decorative finish to invitations and other creative projects.
If your projects call for more than standard hot pouch lamination, wouldn’t it help to have cold and foil options in the same machine? The six modes let you switch between document protection and decorative work without changing the product you use.

What you’ll notice day to day
The touchscreen provides a direct way to select a mode, and the dual-roller system applies heat and pressure during lamination for a smooth, glossy finish. An NTC control system helps prevent overheating, while automatic shutoff activates after 30 minutes. Together, these features support routine use for school projects, home organization, and office documents.
If a pouch feeds incorrectly, switch off the laminator, press and hold the ABS lever, and gently pull the pouch out. This release function gives you a clear way to remove a misfed document before continuing. Buyers commonly praise the machine’s ease of use, warm-up time, and versatility for home-office tasks. Feedback on durability is mixed, with some buyers reporting that their units stopped working after a few uses.
