How to Use Fellowes Laminating Paper
Lamination is a excellent means of preserving important documents or those used frequently from wear-and-tear. Laminated documents are waterproof and are protected against unintended rips, tears, shredding or rubbing. Fellowes' most popular laminating paper is designed as a pouch sealed on three sides, as opposed to the less-expensive laminating paper sealed along only one edge. This design helps decrease shifting of items within the laminating sheets before lamination.

1
Choose an appropriate size pouch -- legal paper, regular stationery, index card, luggage tag, employee ID, or business card -- to use for your project.
-
2
Place the item to be laminated inside the chosen pouch against a sealed edge. If laminating multiple items, position as many as possible against an edge. For those items left over, place in a vacant area of the pouch large enough to allow you to trim it free from the other items easily.

-
3
Use a "carrier" to prevent jamming or slippage of items within the pouch between your preparation area and the laminator. A carrier is any inflexible, flat item larger than your laminator pouch -- a closed manila file folder, for example.
-
4
Feed a sealed edge of the pouch into the laminator. Keep the pouch straight by using the edge guide on the laminator.
-
5
Remove the laminated sheet from the rear of the laminator to prevent jamming. Place on a flat surface or tabletop to cool.
