Frequently Asked Questions About Laminators
Laminators are a popular office machine and they offer a great way of protecting treasured and important documents. The world of lamination can be a bit confusing, however, with the all the different types of laminators available. Hopefully this FAQ will help demystify lamination for you and maybe even make you want a laminator for yourself!
- What's the difference between hot and cold lamination? When you think of lamination, perhaps the first thing you think of is hot lamination. Hot lamination occurs when a document is sheathed with laminate (often in the form of a laminating pouch) and is then fed through a machine that melts the adhesive on the film, thus bonding the laminate to the object. On the other hand, cold lamination is lamination that occurs without heat. The laminate used is already sticky, so no heat is required to melt the glue.
- What's a pouch laminator? A pouch laminator is a very popular kind of laminator and one of the easiest kinds of laminators to use. A pouch laminator can laminate all sizes of documents, including tiny ones (such as business cards) and large, poster-sized items. A laminating pouch is simply a piece of laminate folded in half. You slide your document in, put it through your laminator, and you're done. Pouches are available in many different sizes and some are clear and others are colored, so you can get creative when laminating, depending on your desired end result.
- What's a roll laminator? Roll laminators are often found in high-volume professional operations, such as copy centers, and places that laminate lots of large items. (Your elementary school may have had one.) This type of laminator uses two rolls to quickly laminate large items such as posters, blueprints, and maps. Using a roll laminator is a good choice when you need to quickly laminate a large number of big items.
- What kind of things can I laminate? The main purpose of lamination is to protect your documents and make them sturdier. That said, almost any item can be laminated. Some obvious choices would be important personal documents (such as birth certificates), ID cards, signs, menus, and photographs.
- I have some fragile things I need to laminate. What kind of laminator should I use? If you need to protect a fragile document, especially one that could be damaged by the heat produced by a pouch laminator, cold lamination is the way to go. While you can use a machine for this, you can also do it manually by using self-adhesive laminating film.
- What's a carrier? A carrier is a vital tool to have on hand when you use a pouch laminator. It kind of looks like an envelope and it surrounds your document while you're laminating. A carrier prevents the glue from seeping out of the laminating pouch, which protects your document and keeps your machine clean. Carriers are usually included with every box of pouches you buy, so you can always have one handy.
- I keep seeing the term "mil." What's that? When buying laminating pouches, you'll need to think about how rigid you want your items to be once they're laminated. This where the term "mil" comes in. "Mil" refers to the thickness of a pouch in thousandths of an inch. Pouches are available in the following thicknesses: 3 mil, 5 mil, 7 mil, and 10 mil. Essentially, the higher the number, the thicker the pouch, and the stiffer the end result.
- What are some features I should look for in a laminator? One of the most important features to seek out when buying a laminator is a reverse button. Jams are bound to happen when laminating and a reverse button can help you remove the document before it gets wrapped up in the machine's rollers and possibly damaging the unit. Another feature that's nice to have is a variable temperature setting so you can perform both hot and cold lamination with the same machine. You might also want to look for a laminator that fits in with your home or office decor, or one that's easily portable. Whatever your needs, there's a laminator out there for you!

laminate trimming?
for many years as an old bugger now i have hand trimmed laminate such as the end of kitchen worktops.....if i want to power up so to speak and cut laminates with power tools am i better to use a small router with the relevant cutter blade or buy a specialised laminate cutter i am wary of the router when cutting the rounded edge..anyway any advice welcome
A regular router with a laminate trimming bit will get the job done but you'll probably have a difficult time with it. A laminate trimmer, which is essentially a small router also called a palm router, is what is used by professionals to get a professional looking countertop. They are much lighter and easier to handle than a regualr sized router. If you tip the router it will cause the blade to dig into your laminate. Because a laminate trimmer is easier to handle you will be less likely to have this problem leaving you with a nice clean line in your laminate.
Bosch offers a nice laminate trimmer with a 5.7 amp motor that is larger than any other laminate trimmer. It be used with other smaller cutters to handle plenty of other woodworking tasks.

There are a few other things you'll want to get : a laminate trimmer bit, some pariffin wax and a file.
A laminate trim bit with an angle helps reduce the amount of filing you'll need to do. Just be sure to set it in your trimmer so there is a sliver of overhang. This is important when you have you are joining two piece of laminate together like the front edge and the top if you have a squared off counter. In this case you will have to run the bit along the laminated edge and you don't want the bit to cut into it only the top piece you are trimming.
http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=5414&sid=AFN56
The sliver of overhang will need to be filed flush with the edge. This is where the file comes into play. This is also one of the hardest parts of laminate work to get the hang of. Most newbie tend to "burn" there edge up by digging the file to deep. When done correctly the overhanging laminate should be flush with the edge and still have a nice straight line where the two are joined.
http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=11124&sid=AFN56
Also in the case of a joined edge you will want to rub the edge that the bit is running along with pariffin wax. With the speed the router bit is spinning it will easily burn into the edge it is running along. Parrafin wax rubbed along this edge will prevent this from happening. You must keep the router moving nice and steadily. The bit will burn through the edge if the router is stopped in one spot for too long. Parrifin wax can be found in most grocery store where the canning supplies are for cheap.
Having done this for years the whole process is fairly simple to me but can be overwhelming for someone who has never done it. If you have a seam in your laminate (two pieces of laminate butted against each other) and you have never done laminate seams, you will want to get a professional to take care of the job for you. A professional seam will hardly be noticed unlees it is examined very closely. Also you need to know how to keep the seams from splitting under different humidity conditions.
