Can it cut thru lamination (ID cards, etc)?

I think it would be a challenge to cut through laminated cardboard, but no prblem with laminated paper.

Yes, you can. I left a very small edge as I was laminating a social security card.

sorry I returned the item, realized didn't need one. but the way I looked at it, it won't scan IDs or hard laminated cards only paper.

You can cut your document right at the paper edge and the film will still adhere. It does adhere to the paper surface, but you will always get a cleaner edge if you leave at least 1/16" of lamination over the document. I got a corner stamp that gives my corners a nice 1/4 round edge, and makes your document look more finished and professional. You can even use the 1/4 round punch on your laminated product even if you cut it right to the document edge. Hope that helps!

That's too think for the cutter. I tested by inserting a credit card into the cutter, but it got caught by the blade. The credit card I tested with is about 1mm thick.

I would not recommend cutting a thick and stiff material like plastic laminated card. It looks like this device works so well because the paired cutting wheels rotate agains each other during cutting, thus self hone. Any thick material passing though the cutting wheels may force them apart and you would loose this honeing action and the blade would rapidly dull.

No. I think it just HAS to be transparent for best results- use transparency paper instead of tracing paper, that will work fine. :)

I would assume it can but I don't know for sure. We are printing small Avery postal labels with it and it does have a straight through paper path.

Yes. I made luggage tags and I laminated them together and then cut into a smaller size for the tags. As long as you have a decent margin where the laminating sheets are able to be heated and laminated around whatever you are laminating when you make your cuts it should be fine. I tried a few by cutting them smaller before putting them through the machine and they worked fine. I am really happy with the laminating sheets and this machine! Excellent value!

Yes, the paper clamp is see-through -- so you can cut to a pencil line or whatever. And I have not cut laminate, but have cut cardboard successfully. I do not think corrugated cardboard would work, through. I expect that 5mm laminate would be fine; the blade is quite sharp. The paper clamp can be removed for cleaning.

Yes, I have used it for 3mm and 5mm laminate. It does a great job and they look nice and professional. However, I only did it for about 30 or so cards. Perhaps if it is used often in large quantities, it may dull the blade. Great product - I would buy it again!

This little gem will cut laminated items such as photos, documents, perhaps credit cards and most flexible sheets however I don't think it would cut through formica type products. The blade is very tough and very sharp and is a real workhorse for the money. It's one of the best cutters I have ever used.

it can if it is within the .08 - .6 mm , so if it isn't a thick one it most likely would, it is a great little scanner but as with most things has its limitations. It is difficult to answer definitively without knowing thickness of ID.

Yes, I was doing that yesterday with cheap 7mm laminate! The blade acts equally over the whole surface of the laminate, so the wider the piece (or if you cut at an angle), then the harder work it is to cut.

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

Don't know...haven't done it. I have laminated a printed card made out of folder stock. I would think it would handle a DL card.

Yes. It punches the plastic sheets I use for the cover and backings of my booklets, and those sheets are fairly thick. I would probably only punch one laminated sheet at a time.
