Can you use this with a laminator for gold foiling?

This is a metallic topped paper. The silver is bonded to white paper backing. I don't see how it would work with a laminator.

If the new metal was roughened on the inside so there was a real textured surface to grab it may work ok but any flex or stress will likely cause de-lamination, if you can use rivets also it should work fine.

I have not tried it, but I'm sure that if you made sure it started and kept an eye on it coming out, it would do just as nicely with 4x6 pouches as it does with the larger! I love this laminator. It is small enough to store when not in use, but handles tough jobs like a boss!

Hi Cindy,I don't know, I've never tried using it for that purpose. Might it be better to laminate the paper.

No. The directions for this laminator says not to use the carrier sheet. I have followed directions and have had great success with this laminator. Good product.

Krystal: Yes, you can laminate multiple papers as long as they fit inside the "pouch". You can also cut them to their respective edges and not worry about the lamination peeling away--the heat from the laminator seems to seal the plastic film tightly to the paper inside. I've been extremely pleased with its results, saving me $1+ per page for the same result at Office Max or Office Depot. Richard

The instructions don't specify usage of one, so I haven't used a carrier with this laminator. In answering your question, I am laminating without the use of a carrier and haven't encountered any problems. No glue ruining the rollers. Hope this answer helps.

yes, you can. I use it to laminate charts size 17 x 22. Therefore, something smaller definitely will work. You only need the right size laminating pouch.

You'll want to make sure the laminate is feeding straight through the laminator, and crank slowly and steadily. You also don't want to try to laminate materials that are too thick, as that can also cause wrinkling.

I tried the foil trick prior to purchase. Work scanner could read my id tag. So I would say No. Plus you have to continually re-wrap card with foil. The thick aluminum foil may damage the chip that is now imbedded in most cards.

Honestly I'm not sure. The pounches themselves are clear, so if you wanted to just use them as a sheet protector it could work. I love my thermal laminator though and they are a super reasonable price on amazon if you actually wanted to laminate things. If not Amazon's return policy is awesome and you can return them and get what you really want.

No, the item goes in, then through the laminator and then you can cut it to your liking. Sometimes I put several things in one sheet but, you have to be rather careful.

NO!!!!! An Iron will melt the patches and ruin the bottom surface of your iron. Aa sheet of laminating film is composed of various layers of plastic.

Yes, I use them all the time. You will need a sleeve to feed it in the Laminator.

Yes, it'll work fine on cardstock. I've even run poster board through the laminator. However, you'll have to increase your heat to a higher temperature to adjust for the stock thickness (probably near 350 + degrees). This is where a set of calipers is very beneficial. You measure the thickness in mils of the cardstock within the laminate (before heating) - then you know what temperature to set before running it through. For instance, if your stock is 7 mil thick and you use a 3 mil laminate, the heat would need to be set for 10 mil. If you do not have calipers, you'll have to guess. If you run your stock through and it is still cloudy and didn't adhere, feel free to run it through a second time at a higher temperature. Good Luck getting the hang of it!

You can do that if the sheets have some texture and are light weight. If you are trying to do that with "shiny" heavy bond paper it may not work. There is certainly room for very thick paper.

I used it to laminate my Medicare card. I used two "sticky" sides from two separate sleeves and it worked well.
