Can this machine punch thick laminated pages?

It depends how thick. It can definitely go through 3mil. I've never tried with 5 mil, but I would say yes only because it can hole punch a lot of paper at a time especially cardstock.

I have used the machine to punch cardstock, say about 4-6 sheets, for our financial statement covers and it works well. It would probably depend on how thick your pages are. Its a great machine and works very well for us. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I use 222mmx286mm binding covers and can punch 2 sheets at a time. 3 can go in but makes more of the crunching sound when you know you have put too many sheets in to punch.

No. But you can turn the punch way down so it builds speed a little less violently. The program card makes this easier.

You can laminate a page full of business cards & then use a paper cutter to cut them precisely. You can not cut the laminate sheets prior to putting them through the machine.

I just checked and I use pretty high quality thick paper and it worked on 25 sheets!!

I wouldn't suggest it. In my experience, that punch doesn't even work with craft paper!

I have successfully laminated two sheets of 65lb card stock together in a pocket. One would think that if the paper were too thick the machine wouldn't accept it, but I have not experienced any problems.

Yes you can use less than 2 inch combs, I use 3/8" and 1/4" and I think this model is good for high volume use. Although it may depend on how high your volume use is and frequency. This machine will punch up to 20 pages of regular 20 lb paper with no problem. If you have heavy card stock in the mix (as I did with my project) the number of pages is reduced. However, I did not find this to be a hindrance at all. I was able to do 140 church directories in just a few short hours which consisted of 5 sections dividers, front, back cover of 67 lb card stock, and 22 pages of 20 lb paper. The manual would have taken me several days to complete. Yes you can use less than 2 inch combs, I use 3/8" and 1/4" and I think this model is good for high volume use.

After receiving this request from Amazon to answer your question, I used it to cut a laminated sheet of paper. It worked flawlessly. No issues what so ever.

I don't believe that this press would be capable of punching a 3.5" hole in an aluminum computer side panel. It is made to press in pins and inserts.

Absolutely. It easily punches through metal sheets & copper washers, plastic containers and sheeting. The tool itself is pretty heavy. I've gone through corrugated card board. For paper, you may have to punch several sheets at a time because the tool is so heavy. I have arthritis in my hands and can punch metal without having to apply much pressure.

I don't know. I have a $25 scotch laminator and have laminated over 1000 sheets from this brand without a problem

Hi Cindy,I don't know, I've never tried using it for that purpose. Might it be better to laminate the paper.

There is a "Thick Paper" option on the control panel of the printer; select that.

Based on my experience, I would say no. It struggled being able to cut properly through a piece of paper about double the thickness of typical computer paper. I doubt it can handle even the thinnest of fabrics.

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

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

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!
