Lamination

Laminating can lengthen the life of heavily handled materials or serve as a way to preserve old or fragile originals. Lamination material can be written on with dry erase markers or water-based markers and then easily wiped off with a damp cloth for reuse. If you are going to write and erase often we suggest using the 6 mil. film. Items thinner that typing paper may wrinkle when laminated. Items thicker than 1/16 inch will not go through the laminators.

The self-serve laminators in the TWC are 25’ wide and are available with
both 3 mil and 6 mil lamination film. We also have a larger laminator that the TWC staff can use to complete your projects. The film for that machine is 37” wide and comes in either 3 mil or 10 mil. We usually have the 3 mil. film on the machine so if you have something that you are wanting done in 10 mil. film please call to see when we will be able to put the 10 mil. on the machine.

Tips for creating materials to be laminated:

• Materials that cannot stand heat up to 225 degrees should not be laminated such as crayons or thermal paper.

• Use rubber cement or spray adhesive to create items to be laminated. Tape, white glue or paste will leave wrinkles.

• Don’t use glitter, staples or paper clips on items to be laminated.
Envelopes with metal clasps cannot be laminated.
