Refillable laminating film cartridge system and refill thereof

A dual roll laminating film cartridge comprising:

• a reusable cartridge portion;
• and
• a dual roll laminating film cartridge refill for a reusable cartridge loadable in a laminating machine, the refill comprising:
• a first roll of continuous adhesive-coated translucent laminating film having a first axial end and a second axial end,
• a second roll of continuous adhesive-coated translucent laminating film having a first axial end and a second axial end,
• a first connector coupling the first axial ends of the first and second rolls at a predefined gap distance, and
• a second connector independent from and spaced from the first connector, the second connector coupling the second axial ends of the first and second rolls at the predefined gap distance, wherein the first and second connectors are uniquely shaped and asymmetrical to provide a keyed interface to the reusable cartridge,
• wherein the dual roll laminating film cartridge refill is releasably retained in the reusable cartridge portion and removable therefrom without destructive means, and,
• wherein the first connector of the dual roll laminating film cartridge refill forms a primary male-female interface with the reusable cartridge portion, and a secondary male-female interface between the first connector and the reusable cartridge portion is incorporated within the primary male-female interface.

• a second connector independent from and spaced from the first connector, the second connector coupling the second axial ends of the first and second rolls at the predefined gap distance;
• and
• wear surfaces configured to contact and press upon respective spool ends of the first and second rolls to create resistance in dispensing the laminating film from the respective first and second rolls.
