Choosing the right Xyron cartridge or roll

Repositionable, permanent, laminate or a combination: how to match Xyron consumables to your machine and your job.

Start with your machine

Xyron consumables are made for specific machines, so the first question is always which model you have.

  • Xyron 1250/55 takes top-loading, drop-in cartridges for work up to A3 (318mm / 12½” wide). Examples include AT1256-100 repositionable adhesive and LAT1256-100 laminate with repositionable adhesive.
  • Xyron 2500 runs on rolls for work up to A1, and laminates or encapsulates edge to edge on media up to 4mm thick.
  • Xyron Creative Station takes its own cartridges for work up to 22.5cm wide, including adhesive, laminate, both, and magnet options.

If you are unsure of your model or the code you need, call us with the details on the machine and we will match it for you.

Then decide what the finished piece needs

  1. Will you need to move it? If you are building a layout, presentation board or display that may be adjusted, choose repositionable adhesive. It lets you lift and re-place before pressing down firmly.
  2. Should it stay put? Choose permanent adhesive. High tack suits heavier or textured items and surfaces that need a strong grip; low tack is gentler for lighter materials.
  3. Is it archival or photographic work? Choose acid-free permanent adhesive, which is the safer option for photographs, scrapbooks and pieces meant to last.
  4. Does the front need protecting? Choose a laminate. High gloss laminate gives a bright, wipe-clean finish to signs, menus and notices.
  5. Protection and mounting at once? Choose a combination consumable: laminate on one side, adhesive on the other, applied in a single pass. Ideal for stickers, labels and point-of-sale pieces.

Tip: If your work is double-sided, such as a menu or a card that will be handled, you want encapsulation (laminate on both sides) rather than single-sided lamination. Read laminating vs encapsulating to see the difference.
