Can you laminate pictures.

I read it is not recommend to heat laminate in pouch pictures or other documents. Typically laminating paper consists of a large piece of clear paper folded in half with a sticky inside. These sheets effectively function as two adhesive pages. You basically insert the item you need laminated inside the pouch place it in a special carrier and run it through the laminator.

Whether you re creating anything from signs to important presentations to menus or anything in between or you just want to preserve an important card or photograph a laminating machine can come in handy to protect and preserve those important documents. First off the most popular laminator used with photos is the pouch laminator found here. Keep your important documents free from dust moisture fingerprints and other environmental damages so they ll stay safe and clean forever. Most young people could care less.

Available in sizes to accommodate letter ledger or oversized prints select from 5mm 7mm or 10mm thickness laminate your name badges passes business cards posters and more. These laminators use pouches of film that open and close much like a file folder. To laminate your photos turn on the laminator and select the cold setting. On average how long before problems show up.

Place your picture in a pressure sensitive pouch and put it in the machine s feed opening. Yes you can laminate any kind of paper with self laminate as long as the laminate sheet size is larger than the paper size. The folded edge of the pouch needs to go in first just repeat the process for the other photos you want to laminate. For added sturdiness and durability have your poster laminated and mounted on foam core.

I am interested in your thoughts thank you alinda. You can also try a diy lamination option though you will still need to buy the plastic pouches. I have used my thermal laminator for several years and have seen no problems. You place your photo down and press it in between the two layers to remove any air resulting in a beautiful laminated image.

Laminate smaller pictures with commercial laminating sheets. I am not looking for pictures to last several decades.
