What you should and shouldn’t do during lamination

These days, everyone understands the true value of high calibre lamination services. Before this many people left their documents lying around without protection. However, they are now far more careful. Not just any solutions will do though; you need the right professionals helping you. We are confident we offer the very best finishes.

Lamination isn’t all that straightforward, despite what many believe. There are plenty of dos and don’ts. We’re going to talk about some of them here to expand your knowledge.

How good are the pouches?

The pouches you utilise need to possess a minimum degree of stiffness. Lesser quality ones cannot supply you with this. As such, you should avoid them in favour of their superior counterparts. You’ll get much better results if you do this.

The setting

Don’t use your laminating apparatus in potentially hazardous environments. This includes on unsteady working surfaces. You shouldn’t use them whilst drinking or eating, or when near water. You’ll increase the risk of damaging your instrument by choosing to ignore this advice.

Heat up properly

Make sure you allow the mechanism to heat to the right temperature prior to using it. Some equipment comes with adjustable settings. With them, begin laminating at the lowest temperature. Anyone that laminates too cold can increase it and re-run until they get the right result.

Trimming

Don’t trim the pouch’s pre-sealed edge before you laminate. See to it that you don’t cut the pouches down either. You may suffer a jam otherwise. Cut your pouch after the lamination services only if you need to trim.
