What’s great:
- The iLam 240 has a feed opening that’s 9.4 inches wide. It’s definitely wide enough to accommodate letter-sized documents in addition to smaller items such as name tags and such.
- This laminator can do both hot and cold processes. If you choose to use the cold setting, you’ll be able to process thermally sensitive documents such as those that were printed on an ink-jet printer. Just make sure you have pressure-sensitive pouches on hand.
- Speaking of pouches, this device is compatible with pouches that are from 3 to 7 mil thick. Thus, you’ll have some flexibility when selecting your supplies.

- Akiles always makes durable products and the iLam 240 is no exception. Even so, it comes with a one-year warranty for your convenience.
What could be problematic:
- The feed opening can’t accommodate really wide sheets of paper. If you need to work with those kinds of materials, you should pick out a different machine.
- The iLam 240 isn’t compatible with 10 mil pouches, so this may not be the device for you if your documents require the rigidity and protection a 10 mil pouch can provide.
As you can see, there are only a couple of things that might be problematic is you choose to use the Akiles iLam 240. Overall, this is a great product that makes it easy to get the results you need, whether you’re laminating small or large documents.
