With the already included pouches, is one able to laminate such smaller items as a driver's license, social security and medicare cards?

The pouches that come with it are large enough to laminate a sheet of copy paper so you would have to laminate several cards at one time to keep from wasting the laminating paper. I ordered smaller pouches separately which would probably be better if you only have a couple of cards to laminate.

It is illegal to laminate a drivers license and social security card but I don't know about a medicare card but would assume that too would be illegal. I says this in the brochure that comes with the laminator and I have heard this elsewhere too. Sorry, I thought it was a good idea too!

Yes, but it's a little wonky. You take the full-sized pouch and place your items at the folded end, then insert that end into the machine. After the items are laminated, you'll have to cut them out with scissors or an exacto knife, being careful to leave a little border of plastic around them. I did this with several small cards when I first unpacked the laminator.

Yes, you can. I left a very small edge as I was laminating a social security card.

Yes you can slip paper in there even a card or something. Nothing as big as keys or anything thick, but I have put paper in the pockets. There are 6 credit card size pockets.

yes, you can. I use it to laminate charts size 17 x 22. Therefore, something smaller definitely will work. You only need the right size laminating pouch.

If you don't have different size pouches you would need to laminate first, then cut around the item allowing enough edge to seal it. We sent for Universal Laminating Pouches #84622 and the package came with wallet, business card, 4 X 6 as well as letter size film.

Yes. You just put the small card at the fold of the pouch, seal it, and trim it to size.

Photos, name tags, appointment cards, any business cards, newspaper items, calendars, any number of items that you want to protect. You can order different sizes of the laminating plastic from small business card, 6 x 4 photo to 8 1/2 x 11 sizes.

I purchased plastic pockets for my name badges but there is no obvious reason why you could not laminate these badges just as easily. The badge has good weight to it so lamination will only enhance the durability.

Yes, you use a laminating machine with this pouch. The pouch is a very good product.

Depends on exactly what you are trying to laminate. The "pouches" are sturdy but flexible plastic. One side has adhesive and the other does not. The adhesive sticks to one side of the material being laminated and seals to the plastic side where it extends beyond material being laminated. The resulting unit can be trimmed as desired as long as a reasonable margin, say 1/8" or more is left beyond the edge of the material laminated. The material to be laminated should be reasonably thin, perhaps not thicker than good construction paper. The resulting laminated unit is quite sturdy. If your letters and projects meet these conditions and are within the specified size limits, the product should work satisfactorily. Depends on exactly what you are trying to laminate.

Yes, you can use any size pouches. Great purchase I use mine for EVERYTHING!

I do not believe so. Pouch is approx. 5.5" L by 3" H. It does expand to a nice width though.

110# index card stock is 8.5 mil thick. Sandwiching that in a 7 mil pouch results in a total thickness of 22.5 mil (i.e. 0.007 + 0.007 + 0.0085) which is within the specs of the Apache AL13P laminator (32 mil max). I have laminated 30 mil Teslin-based secure plastic ID cards and they came out okay, although I needed to re-laminate about 10% of the cards to ensure 100% success.

Not really. You might be able to slip a post-it note in with each cd/dvd, but they are pretty snug already. Within the wallet, there are only pages/sleeves for cd/dvds.

SSA advises against any lamination. I suggest non-adhesive vinyl card holders instead. It protects just as well without ruining the card. SS and Medicare cards are basically just flimsy paper. For that reason, it's a bad idea to use anything with adhesive. Gov really needs to update the durability of these cards to begin with but I digress.

Have no idea but if you have ever had something laminated, this is what it will end up like. I have used it on my SS card, my insurance info, etc. and it ends up actually thinner than a credit card but still protected and you cut it to size so it will fit in your wallet or whatever.

This pouch needs to be heat sealed. I guess you could use a laminator, but I just used an iron on medium heat with a thin cloth between the iron and the pouch. Just be careful to not keep the iron on too long and concentrate on the ends.
