The answer to this question depends on the exact laminator you end up purchasing, as each model is slightly different. Always be sure to read the manufacturer’s instructions prior to using your laminator, particularly as thermal laminators may pose a potential safety risk if not used properly. Generally, laminators will come with laminating pouches (or, less commonly, rolls) that you insert into the machine. From there, you press a button, wait a bit, and voila! Your newy laminated project appears on the other side. Be sure to insert the lamination material in the correct way to avoid jams, wrinkles, and bubbles in your finished project.
