Abstract
A prelaminate has a plurality of layers intended for collective insertion in a mutually fixed spatial relation into the pinch between optionally heated, co-acting pressure rollers. The prelaminate includes a carrier layer, a first glue layer arranged thereon and adhered thereto, a cover foil, for instance of transparent material, such as PET, PVC or the like, and a second glue layer arranged thereon and adhered thereto. The two glue layers are directed toward each other. The layer have straight leading edges which are positioned above each other and are held in this registered position by a registering device. A rejecting device is used to prevent mutual adhesion between the two glue layers. The carrier layer with the first glue layer and the cover foil with the second glue layer, with the exception of the leading edges with the registering device, can be moved apart to receive therebetween a flat object for arranging fixedly and thus for encapsulating therebetween, for instance a sheet carrying information, such as an image and/or text, and carrying through the pressure rollers the layers with the flat object received therebetween for forming a laminate by means of glueing therewith.
