Western Sign Systems has revealed how its recent investment in a new BubbleFree Pro 1528 GLED flatbed applicator and laminator from Soyang Hardware, has significantly increased and improved the company’s service offering.

The company was seeking a space-efficient flatbed laminator that could not only handle a range of materials but also fit on the mezzanine level in its 8,000sq/ft factory in Westbury.

As such a Soyang expert recommended the BubbleFree Pro, as it has an LED bed, can mount and laminate onto any flat surface up to 60mm and is available in three widths – 1,500mm, 1,700mm and 2,200mm – to suit different production requirements.

Western Sign Systems selected the smaller, compact model in black – with several other colours also available – which was installed in late 2025.

With an illuminated application table measuring 2.8×1.48m and cutting mat, the BubbleFree Pro 1528 GLED has a maximum working area of 2.35×1.45m, and a rubber roller diameter of 132mm.

The installation of the BubbleFree Pro marked the company’s latest finishing investment from Soyang, with Western having also taken on a new Easymount EM1600SH roll-to-roll laminator from the distributor in late 2024.

John Hulin, director at Western Sign Systems, said: “The BubbleFree Pro was perfect for us as we have very limited space. While it is a smaller machine, it still has the ability to handle sheets as large as 8x4ft, which was perfect for us and the type of signage we produce.

“We purchased the machine to keep up with increasing demand and ensure we continued to meet customer deadlines. It has done exactly that, and we are pleased with how it has performed during the first few months it has been in place.”
