[@Kiki.Datter.Af.Lothbrok]

Welcome!

[@annettaford1500]

Thank you so much this is just what I needed to know

How did you stop them from splitting?

[@williamhooper9432]

Thinking about buying a machine. Video useful but could be faster. How about if I only have a small item to laminate. Do I have to use a whole page or can i cut it up.

[@rainbootsandpuddles]

Thanks for your feedback. Cutting up the laminating sheet can risk it being stuck in the machine. What happened to me was, that I cut up the laminating sheet and used the top part, seal end to laminate a small item. Then later on, used the other loose end to laminate something else. That was a big mistake, the laminating sheet melted and got stuck in the machine. Lesson learn, there's a reason why one end is sealed. So I wouldn't recommend cutting up, however I believe you can find smaller laminating sheets as small as a name card size. To be used for laminating smaller items. I hope this helps. Cheers!

Im on this cause i just had to reanimate mine lol for some reason it ats all my paper?😂 im trying again in a bit maybe just a whole paper instead of pieces ​@@rainbootsandpuddles

[@MadAliceInWonderland]

How do you make sure the seal isn't opened? I tried to laminate a card but I opened the seal when I accidentally cut too close.

[@rainbootsandpuddles]

So far I have not have that happened to me. (Only happens if I try laminating two pieces of paper/card in the same laminating sheet.) Hmmmm, anyone else experienced this?

[@MinhNguyen-nc8jm]

I read it from somewhere that it happens when you don't laminate at the right temperature, your machine isn't hot enough to melt the pouch onto the paper

[@sehelinabano1295]

Which brand you use for laminate? Thanks

[@rainbootsandpuddles]

Hi there, apologies for missing your comment. Apex Laminating Film. Hope this helps!

[@zolbooenkhjargal2670]

thanks for sharing

[@rainbootsandpuddles]

Welcome!

[@prathyushachinni9573]

Hai mam i have a doubt after laminating if we cut into different shapes then it started splitting how to overcome in this case can you please try to answer as I am waiting for your reply mam.

[@BeatrixFrancia]

Just what I needed! Thanks!! Question: is the borderless method as lasting as the one with borders?

[@rainbootsandpuddles]

Hi there, welcome! In my experience, yes, both are equally lasting.

[@czeeniesxclownzens9147]

But what happened if borderless one got spilled by water, will it soaked or not?

[@rainbootsandpuddles]

Hi there, one spill of water wouldn't ruin it. But if it's done frequently the lamination may come off. I've seen this happen in restaurants, where they frequently wipe their laminated menus.

[@toddlersmartworld]

Which type of laminating pouch you are using mam

[@rainbootsandpuddles]

Any brand works. I use a thickness of 100micrometer.

[@toddlersmartworld]

@@rainbootsandpuddles ok mam thank you

[@nicolejohntahup5901]

Are the borderless paper water proof on each side.

[@rainbootsandpuddles]

Hi there, either way is not water proof, splash proof maybe. The laminated paper will open up if left constantly wet. I hope this helps.

[@Acyuta-Priya]

perfect. thank you

[@rainbootsandpuddles]

Thank you

[@cyclamengarden]

It seems like the with-border method would make it more water-proof.

[@rainbootsandpuddles]

Hi there, based on my experience either way is not water proof. I used a laminated sheet outside in the sun and rain as a sign, it got ruined after a while. Water sipped in between the laminating sheet.

[@cyclamengarden]

@@rainbootsandpuddles Thanks for sharing your experience. :)

[@mariarochathemexican9106]

What’s better borders or no boarders?

[@leonardocastellanos7344]

There’s really no difference expect how you cut it and how it looks afterwards, I would say borderless is better because it looks cleaner

[@BenNJapan]

@@leonardocastellanos7344 I work at a school and I've attempted the borderless before and when I cut the cards out after lamination, all of the film separated from the pieces of paper and I had to laminate them all over again.
