Many people use sheet laminators to keep moisture, as well as every day ‘wear and tear’ from damaging their important documents. The thin sheets of plastic film create a waterproof cover over your documents. The sheets are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes, with the most common being the ‘letter’ and ‘business card’ size to correspond with the commonly used document sizes.
The plastic films that make up the laminating sheets are easy to peel back and can be used with a wide range of adhesives. To laminate your document, just place the document in between the plastic films and use the appropriate device such as hot iron or commercial lamination machine to complete the process. However, you must follow the manufacturer’s instructions at all times.
The device that you use to complete the lamination process will depend on how often you carry out the lamination process. For instance, a hot iron is sufficient if you are a home user that rarely needs to laminate. However, you may choose to invest in a low cost home-laminating machine, just in case you need to laminate your documents more often.
Most of the standard paper sizes from letter to business card can be laminated easily since most lamination machines are designed to accommodate these paper sizes. The laminating sheets are available in these sizes to enable both commercial and individual users to protect their vital documents such as paper IDs, business cards, and photos, as well as placemats and coasters.
Laminating sheets are great for occasions that require people to keep their items safe from water damage. The sheets are usually available in reams of 20-100 sheets and any person that needs to use them can buy the sheets from the local office supply stores. However, since the sheets come in different shapes and sizes, one should consider the intended use before buying.
The various types, sizes and shapes of laminating sheets work differently; therefore, people should ensure that they purchase the correct shape and/or size depending on the purpose. However, people should purchase the standard letter size, if they are not sure about the size that they need since it is versatile and easy to cut in to any size or shape.
Sheet laminators can be used repeatedly by putting activity sheets inside the lamination machines. They are very useful for day care because they are easy for children to wipe off using erase markers, once the lamination process is complete. In addition, they use less amounts of paper. Other types of equipment that you may require include used die cutters and a folder gluer.
Sheet laminators are important pieces of equipment in any business which needs to protect papers and documents from damage. New or used die cutters are also important types of machinery especially in the printing industry where they are used to precisely cut, stamp, and emboss paper.
