Beginner Guide To Laminators

I just got a laminator. It looks like a long skinny printer and comes with different size pouches that you slip the documents into.
My question is: Is is possible to slip neraly-flat items into the pouches to be laminated. Like, for example, a flower? How hot does the paper inside the laminator actually get?
Thanks!

please help me! i need to know of a good pouch laminator thats under $100. i want it to be a heat laminator and i cant find any anywhere. if you have any links that would be great! (p.s. if you have any i’d really like to have them be from the United States not foreign countries)

If I laminate the A4 sheet that they are on and then cut the cards out will the laminate still stay on the cards or just peel away. I know you can buy credit card size laminating pouches, but if i buy these will they work on a laminator that accepts A4 pouches? I dont own a laminator yet and dont want to buy one if this idea wont work

Yes- most require the paper pouch… read the instructions that came with the laminator. It will tell you if you need one for sure or not. If it says to use one then you should- otherwise you could ruin everything.

Does it need a carrier? Or feed the pouches directly? Any help is greatly wanted and needed.
Thank you in Advance.
