ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and a method for vacuum laminating an article to a substrate. The apparatus comprises a movable assembly engaged with a support surface for the substrate and movable relative thereto. The movable assembly comprises a manifold for receiving vacuum force from a source of vacuum, and a fin member for translating the vacuum force across substantially a width of the printing plate. A holder for the article is positioned such that an end of said article to be laminated is engageable with the support surface. A moving device is provided for passing the movable assembly and the article over the printing plate as the vacuum force is translated across the printing plate, such that the article is laminated to the printing plate without substantial air entrapment.
