The blessing of today's internet is if you have a not so common tool in your home, there's usually a lot of "hacks" for wild ways to use them. *This video is just some basic tactics, but I have no doubt there are videos out there showing the unique operations these can be used to perform.*

Thank you. I have went through four laminators. I just got one for home with a cold and hot setting. But I don’t understand anything until I watched your video. Thank you so much for some of the information. I’m not sure when I would the cold side, because that’s the part that I could find the cold lamination sheets.😢

Hi !! Very cool tips thanks! Can you pls advise how to avoid bubbles while laminating thick paper while making envelopes?

@EdTchoi 2 года назад

Sorry about the late reply on this one! If you're laminating thick paper, I would probably go with a 8 or 10ml laminating sheet. You're likely going to get bubbling on the thinner ones as they're not meant to handle thicker paper

@MarvoMarv Год назад

Followed Jupiter 125

@elfgirllizzie2018 3 месяца назад

Double sided tape works great when you’re laminating multiple items too. I make name tags for work and have 8-10 at a time, it was a pain before I figured that out 😂.

@EdTchoi 3 месяца назад

@anne-mariemarshall3105 2 года назад

I would like to laminate my soft pastel swatches. Which laminator would you recommend. Should I cold or hot laminate them?

@EdTchoi 2 года назад

Great question! My hunch is that due to the soft nature of pastels, they would not do well with heat, so cold lamination would probably be your safest bet.

Hi Ed. One small correction to a common mistake. The mil. referred to in lamination thickens is 1/1000 of an inch not Millimeters. A three mil pouch would be 1/8" on each side and 1 /4" total. It is 3 /1000" on each side 6 /1000" + The document .

Thanks! Actually quite a big correction 😆 I had someone else notice that as well. Hope you enjoyed the rest of the video!

Can anyone recommend the best type of paper to use for creating wipeable workshop forms? I'm looking for something my students can write on and that we can easily erase afterward for reuse.

@EdTchoi Месяц назад

Apologies for the delay! Give the 3M Dry Erase Sheets a try as it may work for your application. Let me know how it goes!

Can 2mm thick material be laminated?

@Danita-sl1mr 10 месяцев назад

Hello Ed, why does my and the projects,? have air bubbles and then the pouches become separate the laminated pouches

@EdTchoi 10 месяцев назад

There can be several factors which causes air bubbles: 1. Dust or particles getting trapped in between the laminated sheets 2. Low tension on the supply roll which minimizes adhesion 3. Coated papers and high gloss papers can also be prone to bubbles, likely because the lamination sheet doesn’t stick well to these surfaces. I think by and large, dust and particles can be the most common issue. When you laminate, make sure that your documents and laminating pouches are clear of dust and debris. Hope this helps!

How to fold & bend a11"x17" in to 8.5"x11" after lamination????????? Ty for the tips.

@EdTchoi 2 года назад

Good question as that sounds like a challenging task! I'm not quite sure how you would be able to bend it without damaging the laminated sheet, but I may try lightly scoring the area where you want to bend it and then taping it up with Scotch Tape so that the bend doesn't wear out. Not sure if this would do it for you, but it may be worth experimenting. Let me know how it goes and thanks for watching!

@Lala_Lemon 11 месяцев назад

Scoring the paper before laminating is the ticket. Then folding the laminated item on the score line works perfectly. No issue with wear & tear at the fold. 😊 I love the posty note trick! That was a 🥇 gold medal tip!

i laminated a picture but it bends,,ive put something heavy on top of the laminated picture , but it still bends,,i want to put epoxy over the picture

@EdTchoi 2 года назад

Interesting. What was the thickness of your lamination film and which laminator were you using?

@jughtful 8 месяцев назад

10mm = 1cm, 80 micron laminating pouches are 0.08 millimeters thick

@EdTchoi 7 месяцев назад

Thanks and yes, another viewer pointed this out. My mistake!

@calebrownstead Год назад

Thickness are in mills, or 1/1000th of an inch. Not millimeters.

@EdTchoi Год назад

Yeah, my bad on using the wrong measurement 🤦🏻‍♂️😆Hope you liked the rest of the video though!

@barbra429 2 года назад

Why is it so hard to find a laminator that will accept 10 mL sheets! Does Fellowes have one?

@EdTchoi 2 года назад

The Fellowes Jupiter 2 laminator that I was using in this video accepts 10mm. Out of curiosity, what are you using the 10mm pouches for?

@barbra429 2 года назад

@@EdTchoi I like using them in my planner as divider pages. I have a Scotch laminator made for 3 and 5 ml, but I send my 10 mil thru it

@barbra429 2 года назад

@@EdTchoi one major problem I have with 3 ml and 5 ml laminated sheets is that when they come out of the heat machine or heat laminator they curl or crinkle

@EdTchoi 2 года назад

@@barbra429 the sheet may crinkle if the heat is too low (make sure your machine is fully warmed up) and it may curl if there are air bubbles. Could be an issue with your current laminator? Also, have you tried cleaning the rollers (I show this in the video)?

I DO NOT! Recommend the glue trick, my photos were fine at first but over night the ink leaked/smudged on the photo and now they look terrible, maybe an alternative would be using a book or box to hold the paper up and stop the small photos from falling out.

@peterwolfik5827 15 дней назад

The best is to use laminating pouch which are photo size

@N9CQX 11 месяцев назад

Years ago, I used a laminator in an office and there was a sleeve that needed to be placed over the pouch before feeding it into the laminator. It was like cardboard with a shiny foil side. I seem to remember that it protected the rollers from gumming up. It appears that the new laminators do not require that step. Any comments?
