ZFP L200 ST Automatic Sheet-Fed Laminator
FULLY AUTOMATIC B2 LAMINATION FOR DIGITAL & OFFSET PRINT
The ZFP L200 ST is the standard B2 machine in the ZFP line, a fully automatic laminating line built for publishers and commercial printers running mixed digital and offset work. It combines a top-suction sheet feeder, overlapped thermal lamination on a chrome-plated steel cylinder, and in-line burst separation in one continuous machine, run by a single operator, laminating up to 66 feet per minute at a factory-rated 1,600 B2 sheets per hour. ZFP has more than two decades of industrial lamination experience, and every machine is designed, machined, and assembled in-house at its factory in Poland.
The L200 ST laminates digital and offset print with gloss, matte, and soft-touch OPP thermal films on B2 sheets up to 21.3" x 29.1" and stocks from 115 to 400 gsm. An optional pallet feeding device and automatic stacker set the machine up for pallet-to-pallet operation on longer runs, extended feeder options take sheets over 39 inches long for book covers and case wraps, and an optional foiling rewinder adds digital foiling and sleeking so one machine handles both lamination and foil embellishment.
The L200 ST is available exclusively through Supply55, Inc. in the United States and Canada. Machines, wear parts, installation, operator training, and service are all handled by Supply55.
HOW THE L200 ST RUNS
Load the feed table and set the film; the machine feeds, laminates, separates, and stacks.
Automatic Feeding, Sized for B2 Runs
A movable top-rear suction feed head comes standard. Sheets lift from the top of the pile with overlap accuracy within ±0.08" and no sheet-to-sheet dragging, which matters on digital prints where toner and coatings scratch easily.
- The feed head paces itself to machine speed, so feeding never becomes the bottleneck.
- An on-the-run decurl bar flattens sheets without stopping the machine.
- An optional pallet feeding device and automatic stacker run the machine pallet to pallet on long jobs.
Heat Control Built for Mixed Work
The L200 ST laminates on a thick-wall, chrome-plated steel cylinder with the temperature sensor inside the laminating zone rather than at the cylinder edge, so the machine controls the heat the film actually sees.
- The cylinder's thermal mass holds temperature steady through long runs and back-to-back jobs instead of chasing setpoint.
- Roller pressure adjusts pneumatically.
- Energy-saving heating control keeps power draw down between jobs.
In-Line Burst Separation
Overlapped sheets come off the cylinder as a continuous laminated stream, and the electronically controlled separator bursts the stream back into single sheets at full production speed.
- Laminated work stacks ready for cutting, folding, or packing, with no hand separation and no second pass.
- For OPP, nylon, and polyester films that cannot be burst cleanly, the same platform is built as the L200 FK with flying-knife separation.
Digital Foiling and Sleeking
With the optional foiling rewinder, the L200 ST applies digital foil over toner in the same pass architecture it uses for lamination. Print the areas to be foiled, run the sheet with foil instead of film, and metallic covers, cards, and invitations come off the same machine that laminates them.
Standalone Operation
Touchscreen control with remote diagnostic and software support, and fully standalone operation: no network integration or external data exchange is required to run the machine. Industry 4.0 connectivity is available as an option for shops that want it.

OPTIONS FOR THE L200 ST
Extended feeder - Available in three lengths (34.6", 37.4", and 41.3"), taking sheets over 39 inches long for book covers, case wraps, dust jackets, and other long-sheet work.
Pallet feeding device - Feeds long runs from the pallet instead of hand-loaded lifts.
Automatic stacker - Stacks finished sheets at delivery for pallet-to-pallet operation.
Foiling rewinder - Adds digital foiling and sleeking, so the machine applies metallic foil over toner as well as laminating film.
Pneumatic expanding film shaft - Speeds up film roll changes and holds the roll true at speed.
Jogger / sheet shaker - Squares the delivered stack as sheets come off the separator.
Deionising bar and nozzle - Controls static on digital stock before it reaches the nip.
90 gsm light-stock option - Extends the substrate range below the standard 115 gsm minimum.
Industry 4.0 connectivity - Optional network integration for shops that want it; as standard the machine runs fully standalone with no network or external data exchange required.
ALSO IN THE L200 SERIES
L200 FK
Trades burst separation for a servo-driven flying knife that cuts laminated sheets apart in motion, for the OPP, nylon, polyester, and metallised films that cannot be burst cleanly.
L200 PB
The photo book machine: two independent laminating stations in one frame, finishing both faces of the sheet to the same photo-grade quality in a single pass, on stocks to 600 gsm.
L200 EL
The embossing line: single-sided lamination with an in-line embossing station that presses linen, leather, and custom textures into the sheet in the same pass.
