Beginner Guide To Laminators

Is It Possible To Lamanate…?

Alan — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 13:57:15 +0000

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!

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 Have A Laminator From Target And I Bought Pouches For It But It Says I Need A Carrier For It Do I?

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.

I got this laminator a while ago and today I tried to laminate something. I followed the directions and I put the pouch in the laminator. The only problem is that it’s more than 10 minutes later and I’m still waiting for it to come out. Does anyone know the average time for something to be laminated?

What Is Laminator Pouch Thickness?

Alan — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 19:59:13 +0000

Laminator pouches come in different thicknesses and different finishes. It is measured in microns and you can feel the difference both before and after the pouch has been through the lamination machine.
Thinnest/lightest being 100 micron or less if available and the thickes being 250 micron or above. Most common thicknesses are 150micron and 250micron.
The heavier 250 micron pouch is more stronger and more rigid after the lamination process than the 150micron pouch. Therefore it is more durable. The 150 micron has some firmness but is much more flexible. It is also less heavier.

The laminator itself can be any laminating device; but the pouch part comes from the laminate being a pocket or pouch with at least one side joined beforehand.
A card or sheet of paper is placed inside the pouch and then this is run through the laminator.
