Article: Lamination pouches come in a variety of sizes. When choosing a size, make sure it's small enough to fit in your machine. That means that the folded side of the pouch needs to be smaller than the area you feed the pouch into. However, ensure your paper can fit completely inside the pouch. If your project is small, try using a smaller sheet so you don't waste part of the pouch. Pouches range in thickness from 3 millimeters to 14 millimeters. The thicker pouches provide more protection. However, always check the directions for your machine, as many machines cannot handle very thick pouches. Most machines will handle pouches in the 3-5 millimeter thickness. If you want to cut out the white around an object on the paper, it's best to do it before you laminate it. Cut carefully around the edges until you're happy with how it looks. A laminating pouch is 2 sheets held together by 1 folded edge. Open the pouch up and place the edge of the paper up against the inside of the folded edge. On the other edges, make sure to leave a little space between the edge of the paper and the edge of the pouch for the laminator to seal the edges. Close the pouch. Don't cut the pouch before inserting it in the machine, as that can cause jams. If you have multiple pieces, carefully space them out inside the pouch, leaving a bit of room between them. You will need to be able to cut between them and still have a bit of laminated edge around each piece. Some laminators warn against using multiple pieces in 1 pouch, so read your instruction booklet to find out more about your machine before attempting this.

Choose a pouch small enough to fit in the laminator. Select a thicker pouch for added durability. Trim the paper to the shape you want it. Lay the paper in the laminating pouch. Space multiple small pieces out in a pouch, if necessary.
