Question by cheerlina14: Where can I laminated cards?
I have a student ID card I want to laminate, (I’m home schooled so it comes in normal paper.) But I don’t want to buy a whole machine for this one little card. Is there a store like Kinko’s that’ll do that for me?

Question by mayannaise: My laminated ID got bent, how do I fix it?
I tried putting it under something heavy, and it mostly fixed it, but the plastic outside thing is still bent and peeled in that area. If i stuck it through the machine again without putting another layer of the plastic thing would that help? Or could I put wax paper over it and iron it?

Question by John S: How are photos plastic laminated?
The problem is my photos are 6″ wide by 4 feet long. No one can laminate that length. If I knew how the process worked I could make my own laminator.

I have a small laminator at home. I have laminating film. I put the photo in between the film and run it through the machine. The machine heats up and has rollers to roll out all the air bubbles and pull the print through. I have no clue about mechanics, but no one else had answered when I started typing so I thought maybe my little knowledge would help.

Did you try fedex/kinkos? A friend of mine got some banners laminated there.

Question by abbie normal: What should I do about my improperly sealed laminated posters?
I laminated some posters and card stock lettering for my classroom using a new laminator the other day. I was in a hurry (although I did let the laminating machine heat up properly) and didn’t pay attention to the fact that some of the laminating film on the front side of the paper did not completely adhere. When I got home with my posters and letters to cut them out, I realized that quite a few of my letters have laminating film that is only partially attached on the front side. What should I do about this? I tried using a very hot hair dryer with minimum success. Can I use an iron to heat them? I don’t want to mess up the posters or letters, as I spent quite a bit for them and my teacher’s salary doesn’t provide for a lot of extras. Thanks for the advice!

This happened to me once. I took out my iron heated it up and took a thin cloth..a cloth napkin and gently ironed down from the middle of the poster to the edges. It took a little while to do but it did work.
If worse comes to worse, cut off the peeled up part and re-laminate it comes out looking pretty good too.

Question by darkneechee: Is it okay to mail a homemade postcard laminated on both sides?
I’ve begun making my own postcards (photographs and papercrafts) and I have a laminating machine that always laminates both sides. I enjoy using it because the laminate is thick and makes the postcards sturdy. I am concerned that the slickness of the laminate on both sides will make it hard for the U.S. Postal Service to put the ink seal that appears on postcards and letters, and that my little pieces of mail art will not make it to their destinations. Should I find a way to keep one side from being laminated, or do you think they’d arrive to their destination okay?

Yes, Quilter have been sending them for quite a while now.
You do have to bring it to the Post Office for weighing.
