The GBC 240 Series 2 9.5" Pouch Laminator is a compact and reliable laminating machine built for home offices, small businesses, and everyday classroom use. With a 9.5-inch maximum document width, this laminator fits standard letter-size pages, making it easy to protect reference sheets, important papers, project materials, and more. The machine uses thermal heat technology to create a smooth, lasting seal that guards your documents against wear, moisture, and daily handling. Its lightweight design at just 3.47 lbs makes it easy to store and move between workspaces.
The GBC 240 Laminating Machine is equipped with SMART features that keep the laminating process simple and trouble-free. The machine prevents pouches from feeding until it has fully warmed up, and a SMART LED indicator lets you know when it has reached the correct temperature, with a ready time of just 2 minutes. A sealed edge icon and built-in alignment guides show the correct loading direction, helping to prevent misfeeds and jams. A rear toggle switch lets you quickly select the right setting for 3 mil, 4 mil, or 5 mil pouch thickness, while a jam-release button and an energy-efficient 15-minute auto shut-off add everyday convenience. With a laminating speed of 15.7 inches per minute, this machine can process up to 14 pouches in just 10 minutes. The GBC 240 comes with 5 letter-size GBC EZUse 3 mil pouches included and is backed by a limited 3-year warranty.
With its compact size and letter-width capacity, the GBC 240 is a practical fit for educators producing flashcards, schedules, and learning aids, as well as home and small offices that need to protect ID cards, instructions, and reference sheets. It also works well for healthcare offices handling patient information and checklists, retail and hospitality businesses preserving menus and promotional signage, and churches or nonprofits creating event materials and informational handouts.
