Abstract: A dual roll laminating film cartridge refill for a reusable cartridge loadable in a laminating machine. The refill includes a first roll of continuous adhesive-coated translucent laminating film having a first axial end and a second axial end. The refill includes a second roll of continuous adhesive-coated translucent laminating film having a first axial end and a second axial end. A first connector couples the first axial ends of the first and second rolls at a predefined gap distance. A second connector is independent from and spaced from the first connector, the second connector coupling the second axial ends of the first and second rolls at the predefined gap distance. The first and second connectors are uniquely shaped and asymmetrical to provide a keyed interface to the reusable cartridge.

Abstract: A dual roll laminating film cartridge includes a body defining a first end supporting first ends of first and second rolls of continuous translucent laminating film. The body further defines a second end supporting second ends of the first and second rolls, wherein facing surfaces of the films extended from the first and second rolls in an advancing direction are coated with a heat-activated adhesive. A bridge extends between the first and second ends of the body at a position between the first and second rolls, the bridge defining an article chute for the reception of articles to be laminated by the films of the first and second rolls. The cartridge further includes a code indicative of one or more characteristics of the film of the first and second rolls, the code comprising a predetermined flag pattern of coding tabs that project outward from the body.
