A laminator is a piece of equipment that fuses 2 pieces of plastic with some paper between them. Lamination is a way to protect important things. Laminators are used in schools to protect billboards and posters, and in offices where badges and badges are made.A laminator can be a large machine that sits in a permanent location, or it can be a small mobile device. To use the laminator correctly, follow the instructions below.

Steps

1. 1 Load the laminating film into the laminator. Most laminating machines require 2 rolls of film. The user manual for your laminating machine should provide step-by-step instructions for loading the film.
2. 2 Let the laminator warm up. Turn on the laminator to warm it up. Your laminator's user manual should tell you how long it takes to warm up. Most laminating machines have an indicator light to show that the machine is on and another indicator to show that the machine is ready to laminate.
3. 3 Prepare the paper you want to laminate. You should trim this piece of paper so that it looks exactly the way you want it to look after lamination.
4. 4 Place the paper you want to laminate into the special slot of the laminator. Push it slightly so that the machine can easily pick up the paper.
5. 5 Turn the feed switch. The laminator will begin to feed the paper into the machine.
6. 6 Wait for the paper to go all the way through the machine. Let the machine continue to run until you have a place of the film where you can cut it.
7. 7 Stop dispensing by pressing the stop button. Try not to stop or restart lamination in the middle of the document.
8. 8 Cut the laminate with scissors behind the element.which you laminated. Some machines have a special perforated edge for cutting laminate film.
9. 9 Cut the laminate around the edges of the element you are laminating, leaving an edge about 3mm wide.
10. 10 After finishing lamination, turn off the warm up of the laminator.

Tips

• Most types of paper can be laminated, including a variety of cards and posters.
• Practice using your laminator. It is best to start with less important documents until you feel comfortable using this machine.
• There are laminators that are large enough to laminate posters. If the item you want to laminate is too large for the laminating machine, you can cut it in half and laminate it.
• You can load multiple laminating elements into the machine at the same time. But make sure there is enough space between them. You can also insert items one by one into the feeder. But be careful not to overlap.
