Good pouch laminators are the most popular of all laminators. They are more portable and easier to use than roll laminating machines. Pouch laminators are great for projects like photo, business card and other documents. A letter size pouch works well for preserving larger documents. You can find these machines in both hot and cold lamination models.
Film Laminating Machines
Film laminating machines come in a few sizes. The smaller models have a capacity of about four and a half inches in width. These are great for laminating smaller items, such as pictures, business cards, social security cards and other small projects. The size limit for documents in these models is four by six inches.
A ten inch film laminator machine can accommodate a document up to nine and a half inches wide. Remember the maximum size on every machine is about a half an inch smaller than the machine size. This allows room for the laminating pouches as well as the document. The ten inch size works well for standard letter paper, which is about eight and a half inches wide.
For larger documents, consider a fifteen inch model. These machines are good for laminating legal sized and larger documents. If you will be laminating reports, consider rings lamination to bind the report and give it a more finished, professional look. You can purchase rings in standard letter and legal size to fit all reports.
Consider the size of the documents you will be laminating when selecting the right machine. Larger machines can accommodate smaller documents, but small machines are more limited in terms of size. A larger machine is slightly more expensive, but will be more universal, if you will need to laminate larger documents. Consider your current and future needs when making a purchasing decision. A used machine can save a fair amount of money. Make sure to deal with a reputable person to be sure you’re getting a quality machine.
These laminating machines are the easiest to use. The film comes in pouches, eliminating the need for cutting. The pouches look like little bags and come in sizes from the size of a small tag to larger, letter size pockets. You can find cheap laminating pouches easily on the internet. Some companies offer discounts for larger orders. If you laminate frequently, consider purchasing a larger supply to save money on both the pouches and shipping costs on supplies for pouch laminators.
