Case Study: MEFU MF1700-C3 Wide Format Roll Laminator for Advertising Production Finishing in Russia

Project Background

An advertising production company in Lyubertsy, Moscow Region, recently upgraded its post-print finishing capabilities with the installation of the MEFU MF1700-C3 roll laminator together with a Mimaki CG-130AR cutting plotter.

The company produces various advertising materials that require accurate cutting, reliable surface protection, and a consistent professional appearance. As part of the production process, finishing equipment plays an important role in ensuring that printed graphics are ready for final application and long-term use.

By combining precision cutting and professional lamination, the new equipment setup provides a more complete workflow for advertising production.

Why Roll Laminating Matters in Advertising Production

For many advertising applications, printing is only the first step. Printed graphics used for signage, promotional displays, stickers, and other applications often require additional protection before delivery.

A roll laminator is an important part of the finishing process because it helps apply protective film evenly onto printed materials, improving durability and maintaining the appearance of the finished product.

In daily advertising production, a professional laminating solution helps manufacturers:

• Protect printed surfaces from scratches, moisture, and general wear
• Maintain consistent appearance across different production batches
• Extend the service life of graphics used in indoor and outdoor environments
• Process large-format materials more efficiently compared with manual lamination methods

For print service providers and advertising manufacturers, stable finishing quality is essential because surface defects after lamination can directly affect the final application.

MEFU MF1700-C3: Supporting Professional Large Format Finishing

The MEFU MF1700-C3 roll laminator was installed to meet the facility’s requirements for reliable large-format finishing.

With a maximum working width of 1.63 m, the machine is suitable for processing a range of advertising materials, including printed films, posters, graphics, and other roll or sheet media.

Designed for professional finishing applications, the MEFU MF1700-C3 combines stable operation with practical functions for everyday production.

The pneumatic upper roller lifting system helps maintain stable pressure during operation, enabling smooth film application and reducing common lamination issues such as bubbles, wrinkles, and film shifting.

For advertising production companies, consistent lamination quality helps ensure that finished materials meet customer expectations.

With lamination speeds of up to 25 m/min, the MEFU MF1700-C3 supports continuous finishing operations for daily production requirements.

The machine helps operators complete lamination tasks efficiently while maintaining stable processing results.

The adjustable heating system with temperature control up to 120°C allows the laminator to work with different film types and application requirements.

This flexibility makes the machine suitable for various advertising and graphic finishing projects.

The built-in trimmer allows operators to remove excess film and perform longitudinal cutting directly after lamination.

This simplifies the finishing workflow and reduces additional manual processing steps.

A Complete Finishing Solution for Advertising Applications

The combination of the Mimaki CG-130AR cutting plotter and MEFU MF1700-C3 roll laminator creates a complete workflow covering both cutting and finishing processes.

While the cutting plotter provides accurate material shaping, the roll laminator adds the protective layer required for professional advertising applications.

Together, these machines support a more efficient and reliable production process for advertising materials.
