The Three Must-Have Pouch Laminating Supplies

Having a pouch laminator is essential if you want to be able to protect your documents. However, if you have one of these machines, you’re going to need certain things to get the most out of it. From Laminating Pouches to cutting tools, having the right supplies ensures you’ll be ready to laminate when the need arises. Here are the three must-have pouch laminating supplies:

*Laminating pouches. In order to successfully use your pouch laminator, you’re going to need laminating pouches. Pouches are available in many different sizes so you can use them to laminate letter-sized documents, business cards, menus, and much more. When you’re selecting your pouches, you need to pay attention to how thick they are. Pouch thickness is measured in mils (0.001 of an inch) so the thicker the pouch, the more protection it offers. You’ll need to choose pouches that are only as thick as your machine can handle. Be sure to check the device’s instruction manual to find out which supplies are suitable.

*Carriers. Whenever you use your laminator, you need to make sure you use a carrier. This is basically a piece of cardstock that holds your document as it moves through the machine. Using a carrier ensures your document will stay flat, it prevents pouch jams, and it stops adhesive from gumming up the gears. You can find a carrier in just about every box of laminating pouches, although they can also be bought separately if you misplace yours.

*A cutting tool. There will probably come a time when you need to trim excess laminate from your work. Thus, you need to have some kind of cutting tool on-hand to finish the job. Scissors and GBC Zippy knives can be helpful but it’s difficult to get a perfectly straight line with them. Your best bet is using a straight edge and craft knife or else a rotary trimmer. These tools will definitely help you get a straight line so your documents can look as professional as possible. Best of all, rotary trimmers come in a number of different sizes so it’s easy to find one that’s just right for the type of materials you’re using.

Finally, if you don’t have your laminator yet, make sure you pick a good one. Some of the best are made by companies such as Fellowes, GBC, Akiles, and Tamerica. You’ll want to pick a machine that can easily accommodate your materials so you can laminate without any trouble. Also, make sure the laminator comes with a good warranty so you’re covered in case anything happens. A good warranty will last for at least a year.

Laminating pouches, carriers, and a cutting tool: these are the three things you need in order to get the most out of your laminator. And the good news is that all of these things are pretty affordable so you won’t need to break the bank. Be sure to gather up these supplies so that you’ll have them when you need them. Happy laminating!
