Product Information

There’s no need to buy a special eraser for cleaning your laminated printables. A damp cloth or paper towel is all that’s needed. If you have a laminating machine or are willing to invest in one, you can use laminating pouches that get sealed by the machine’s heat. These offer the convenience similar to self-adhesive pouches since you just put your document inside and run the pouch through the machine. These pouches often work with most brands of laminating machines, but some are labeled as recommended for a particular brand. I have not had have a problem with air bubbles. They usually smooth right out by using the edge of your hand. I recommend starting with a fresh printout because it ensures you won’t have any wrinkles in the paper or bent edges. Some people prefer to trim their printable, but that’s totally up to you! 2. Peel off the plastic film from sheet #1 and place the printable facedown.

However, they are great to have around the house for any type of worksheet or document you want to protect.First, the marker tip. A fine-point tip typically works better for laminated printables since you are writing on a much smaller surface than a large dry erase board.

For the purposes of this step-by-step, I’m going to walk you through the entire process of laminating without a laminator – using a family chores template. If you like this chart, you can grab the same one for free!And, you can also write on this material, which eliminates the need to print a new copy each time you want to use a certain printable. You can always trim down the edges, but you can’t size up. You don’t want to buy sheets that are too small for your printable. Like traditional laminating, self-laminating sheets are made of a plastic material that protects your printouts (and other documents) from wear and tear, dirt, water, and spills.

The pouches may not be quite as durable as the sheets since it’s common for them to have adhesive that only goes around the edges. You do want to make sure the edges line up, but it doesn’t have to be perfect because, remember, we will be trimming the edges once everything is nice and pressed together. 4. Smooth our any air bubbles you see. If you want to ensure that your writing stays on the board and doesn’t smudge easily, then you may want to invest in a few wet erase markers instead.With these handy sheets, you can turn ANY ordinary printable into one that you can use over and over again. How to use self laminating sheets for printables As you’re shopping, you may also notice that some products say “self-laminating pouches” instead of sheets. Both laminating sheets and pouches usually come in sizes that fit traditional letter paper measuring 8.5 inches by 11 inches. However, the measurements may be slightly larger such as 9.5 inches by 12 inches or 9 inches by 11.5 inches. The lamination is easy to cut, though, so you can easily adjust the size as needed for smaller documents like business cards.
