Description
Pouch lamination is great for offices, on-demand print shops, or any small- to medium-duty home business. Pouch lamination is very simple, and the machines are small and portable. Pouches are available in any size and thickness.

Binding Process
#1: Open your pouch, and place your media the way you would like the finished product to look.

#2: Close the pouch around the media and insert into the pouch directly into the pouch laminator. Make sure you always insert your laminate into the machine with the sealed end going in first. This will prevent wrap- ups. Wait for the Laminator to do all the work, and viola you have a laminated document ready to go!

Note: If you purchased your machine elsewhere, you may be required to use of a carrier, or a sleeve. This extra step is required if your Laminator does not have silicone rollers.

Troubleshooting
If you notice you are getting bubbles in your laminate, you are probably running the Laminator too hot.

If you notice a white or milky area in your laminate, you are probably running your Laminator too cold.

The best way to check the seal on your laminate is to do the X test. Take a razor and cut an X on your document. If you can lift the laminate away from the paper you need more heat. If not, you have a good seal.

Special note: most laminators are not designed to laminate photos. Abb does not recommend laminating photos in any thing but a heated roll laminator.
