How it works
The user inserts their document into a laminating pouch, positions it in the feeder slot, and selects the desired mode. The Neptune 3 automatically adjusts settings based on pouch thickness, warms up rapidly, then feeds the document through its heated rollers—delivering professionally-laminated results within seconds.[5][9]
