Will it punch through 10 mil laminated paper?

Yes. It punches the plastic sheets I use for the cover and backings of my booklets, and those sheets are fairly thick. I would probably only punch one laminated sheet at a time.

We punched through some extra leather fabric we had on hand for a conference room chair - so most likely, yes if its not really thick. The machine punches thick cardboard covers so I think it will work.

yea i think so. i was able to punch through over 100 sheets of thick paper. so i assume as long as the ziplocs dont slip and slide the punch itself will be able to get through it. before you use it on anything you care about test it on some crap material because there's some oil residue that needs to come off after the first couple of punches. then it's good to go. the way the device works is you put the items you want to punch under it and then you tighten and as you do that (by screwing the metal) it slowly "punches" through. it's more like a drill press than it is a punch. you don't slam down on the punch to get through the paper which is why it seems to be able to punch through so much. it's a slower process for sure but it's excellent.

You can cut your document right at the paper edge and the film will still adhere. It does adhere to the paper surface, but you will always get a cleaner edge if you leave at least 1/16" of lamination over the document. I got a corner stamp that gives my corners a nice 1/4 round edge, and makes your document look more finished and professional. You can even use the 1/4 round punch on your laminated product even if you cut it right to the document edge. Hope that helps!

I think you can. I used it to punch a stack of 10 pieces of paper and it worked fine. It should work on index cards.

Yes, this will work, but it has no guides for you to align the paper before punching, so you have to wing it.

Good Question... I took a piece of card stock9 65lb) and doubled it. Went through like butter. Then I doubled that, which would be four pieces and it would not punch. Hope that helps you out. Its a great punch.. Bonnie

Maybe, I don't see it doing well. I would guess it would bleed through and tear the paper.

You cannot punch the long edge for 12" paper. If the short edge is less than 11" of course it can be punched / bound.

Yes you can. If the paper is too thin it might get distorted around the area where you punch the hole.

It easily punches through cardboard, I'm not sure if it would tear lighter weight paper. It is a heavy tool and a little clumsy to use on cardboard. It is better for metals, I use it on coins and metal stampings for jewelry making. I love this tool!

It can continuously shred paper for 10 mins straight. However, if you do it at a more moderate pace it won't overheat that qucikly.

Probably, with effort. I was trying to punch through card stock and it wasn't fun. It's a really flimsy hole punch.

I believe it will. I have used it to cut numerous pieces of paper at one time, without any issues.

It depends on the height of your paper. It punches 3 holes (well, squares actually) per inch, so that's 33 holes on a standard 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper, etc.

Yes, I have used it to cut "cards" that I have laminated. Apparently it will cut anything scissors will cut...and much easier and better.

Probably not. I just punch 1 sheet of copy paper at a time and that's about all it can handle.
