Has anyone tried to use 10 mil pouches in this laminator?

Its good product but it takes little while to get warm up but i like it for normal use

The machine says 3mil, 4 mil, or 5 mil. Follow the directions. The heat generated by the rollers accommodate the thickness of the laminating sheet. You may need a commercial laminator to accommodate 10 mil. Hope this helps. PS. This is a great little laminator at a good price for easy projects.

Absolutely, but I must say that the Fellowes laminator sheets and the laminator work great together. I use it all the time and it hasn't malfunctioned once.

These particular pouches are 2 1/4 x 3 3/4, so your size probably would not quite fit. You can order different sizes, but keep in mind whatever you laminate needs to be Smaller than the pouch dimensions so that there is material to make contact with each side to seal. Hope this helps.

I use them in my Scotch laminator. It has a 5 mil setting, so they work great!

I do not know from experience, but the guides are adjustable and the thicknesses specified are 3 mil and 5 mil for the two settings. Therefore, I imagine that the brand of pouch matters less than the tech specifications... so my *guess* is that you can. It may be wise to check if there is a maximum/minimum heat that can/should be applied to the pouches you intend to use. In any case, I highly suggest using pouches, as opposed to two unconnected pieces of plastic, since the edge fed into the machine is the seam edge, which ensures that the pouch is guided straight, rather than having two pieces that might feed into the rollers with some slippage. Good luck! :) I do not know from experience, but the guides are adjustable and the thicknesses specified are 3 mil and 5 mil for the two settings.

I ordered Avery Self-Adhesive Laminating Roll 24in x 600in B000061C71 This worked well. I have two rolls of this type of laminating paper I could send to you, as I do not use this laminator anymore. it did not work with my specific needs. Let me know if interested. I paid $38 dollars for ea roll. I would send to you for free...just ask for shipping costs. sqawnie@hotmail.com

yes, but the pouches are cheap and do not stick together on every side, even after sending through laminator second time. Had to go to Office Depot to purchase another brand; more expensive but held together.

I've never used a cardboard pouch. I just run the laminating pouch straight thru by itself and I have had no problems.

no problem . works great from 3mil. to 10 mil. This is the best machine i have bought any place . I have bought at least 4 different brands of Laminating machines and this one has lasted the longest. I do have a small printing business and it does get a good work out.

I haven't laminated anything that large but I don't know why it wouldn't work for that dimension.

Krystal: Yes, you can laminate multiple papers as long as they fit inside the "pouch". You can also cut them to their respective edges and not worry about the lamination peeling away--the heat from the laminator seems to seal the plastic film tightly to the paper inside. I've been extremely pleased with its results, saving me $1+ per page for the same result at Office Max or Office Depot. Richard

Yes. I use the amazon brand (basics) which, by the way is a great machine! I have had zero issues and used many other apache and other brands with no problems. My machine will work with 3 and 5 Mil laminating materials.

If you do 5 mil lamination, the manufacturer recommends sizes up to 4x6. For 3 mil, you are NOT limited to 4x6."Use 3 mil pouches for documents up to legal size. Use 3 mil or 5 mil pouches for items 4 inch x 6 inch or smaller. Laminates documents up to 9 inch wide."

I do not understand your question, I use AL18P for paper 11x8.5 and Laminating Pouches 9x11.5 I do not cut document or film, I leave 1/8" of plastic. Depend what job you do.

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.

There is a practical limit on how thick a pouch can be run through the unit and still be heated properly, but I actually bought this to run circuit boards through and they are 0.060 in, or about 15 pieces of copying paper thick. I doubt you would have a problem with any combo of pouch/badge.

I have not tried it, but I'm sure that if you made sure it started and kept an eye on it coming out, it would do just as nicely with 4x6 pouches as it does with the larger! I love this laminator. It is small enough to store when not in use, but handles tough jobs like a boss!
