Can you use laminating pouches that come with carrier sheets in this? My boxes of pouches have a carrier sheet, not sure why.

No. The directions for this laminator says not to use the carrier sheet. I have followed directions and have had great success with this laminator. Good product.

I would also like to know if I can use the pouches that come with the carrier, but without using the carrier.

The instructions expect you just to insert the laminating pouch. I think use of a carrier sheet is not advisable.

One end of the pouch is already sealed together and must lead through from that end. I find that you need to have paper completely across that leading edge, even if that means I use scrap paper to fill. I personally have never cut the pouch as I have pouches in several sizes. Just make sure that "sealed" edge goes through first. You will love having a personal laminator, I use mine all the time. In fact I bought one that will take tablet size pouches because I manage a condo complex and use it for signs. I hope this helped.

I am currently using Scotch Thermal Laminating Pouches. They work great. I use these because I can find them at my local grocery store and for the price also. I would think any laminating pouch would be fine with this. I've made a work horse out of this machine with those pouches and haven't had a problem yet.

Not without damaging it. Only certain laminate pouches are removable and these are not. These are heavy duty!

It just comes with 100 lamination pouches in frustration free packaging - no carrier pouch. At least, I didn't get one! :)

The items you laminate are laminated on both sides. You can laminate a two-sided document if that is what you are asking.

While this product comes with two laminating pouches, I bought a combo laminating pouch set because it really depends on what size paper you are laminating; letter(8.5) or photo size;(5x7) etc; since my wife is doing a lot of arts/crafts projects or laminating something from her Montessori course, the extra pouches in varying sizes do come in handy.

Sure you can but it depends on the way the hot melt adhesive bonds to your paper. The sheets of the laminating pouches are pretty well guaranteed to bond to each other, thereby surrounding the laminated object, but you may run into problems trying to bond to a random surface.

The pouches open from top to bottom. They are only sealed on the bottom. They are floppy until put through machine. Once through machine, they are very rigid. I used 5 mil. Haven't tried 3 mil. I put two by two inch pictures in a row on bottom of laminate sheet and took a clean heated glue gun without glue and ran it along the top of the row of pictures. On the outside of the laminate sheet. Used a ruler as a guide. This stopped the pics from sliding around and overlapping. Make sure your glue gun is clean or new.

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.

Yes, according to the item description on the "More Technical Info": "Accepts Laminating Pouches up 10mil". I wish I could tell you from firsthand experience but I just got my AL9 but haven't had much luck finding 10 mil pouches for ID Badges. I'd better get a move on it though because invariably eveyone's badge will come apart at the same time. I'll post again after I have tried it out on 10 mil.

I did use them for a bit with the "your Story " laminator... just make sure you don't get the 10 mil laminating pouches to use with the laminator as mine stopped working after using the heavier pouches.

Wyre, when youre putting the document into the laminating pouch be sure to push your document all the way to the very back so that it is aligned stably in the pouch. Once you do that DO NOT forget to load the paper the same way - Sealed end in first and you will have no problems! I know this information will be helpful.

I have a Scott laminator and have always use 5 mil pouches, and never with a protector sheet. I would review your laminator requirements and see what they suggest.

I don't think so. This machine works best with the laminating pouches that are usually in standard paper sizes and smaller.

This doesn't require carriers. "Lamination" sheets that are single-sided and have adhesive aren't really lamination sheets at all. They are more of an adhesive protector sheet. The difference is that a lamination pocket that doesn't require a carrier will give you a plastic-like covering on both sides of your sheet, with extra plastic around the edges that seals it closed. A protective lamination is more for projects that are printed on an adhesive surface (think decals) or paper that are cold-laminated with the "lamination" (clear plastic-like top sheet that has adhesive), then mounted to a rigid surface, such as foam-core, aluminum, or something similar.

I would recommend laminating pouches instead of these. That would allow you to use dry erase or wet erase expo markers.
