13 inch Laminator Machine for A3/A4/A6, Thermal Laminating Machine with 50 3Mil Laminating Pouches for Home Office School Use , Paper Trimmer and Corner Rounder

We have an upscale restaurant/bar that's been open 2+ years. We change the menu seasonally. So 4 times a year my partner had our "camera-ready" menus professionally printed and laminated at $380 each time. I finally said hold on. I replaced our AIO mediocre $150 inkjet printer (begins with E) with a new AIO HP laserjet (on sale). And I bought this laminator and some 5 mil Nuova laminating pouches (Amazon too). Bottom line, for less than what it cost to print the menus a single time, we now do everything in house. I used glossy presentation paper. The menus came out great! They look even better than the ones we got from the printer. One plus for this laminator is thye 13 inch wide opening. It can take a standard letter size document width wise. Another is the paper cutter on top. A semi-downside is it takes some time, just over 1 minute to complete a letter size document (inserted width wise). But that helps insure a solid lamination. I just did 50 menus and they all came out great, no bubbles or creases. They're bright and perfectly clear. Now, doing our menus in-house we can add or subtract items anytime, list specials and have unique offerings for events.

I have wanted an laminator for such a long time but could never get myself to bite the bullet. I saw this one had a coupon but honestly, knowing how awesome it is, I would have paid full price! I had a baby recently and wanted to make sure I could preserve so many things that she might make or that I want to keep. I am so glad I did! This machine is so easy to use, especially for someone like me who has never used one. The cutting tool was something I didn’t even realize was a feature, it took me a couple tries but I love it! I definitely recommend this product!

I gave this only 4 stars because the manual it comes with talks about using foil but it doesn't come with foil and there is no company name or phone number to contact to find out what kind of foil it needs and how to get it. I tried to use it cold, with only the plastic sleeves if comes with, and nothing happened. Then I tried it hot, again with only the sleeves and it worked perfectly. What I'm laminating are sheets of heavy weight paper printed on a color ink jet printer. I'm still struggling with using the cutter but since I have a large paper cutter I'm been using that for now until I get the hang of it.It's light light weight and doesn't take up a lot of desk space and that's good. I've never used a laminator before so this may be just my inexperience. I do wish that the sleeves it comes with were of a variety of sizes but I purchased a box of smaller sleeves separately and use those along with the larger ones which I put several small pieces of paper in and then individually cut them to size.

This laminator works fast and good. With myasthenia laminator we had to run the pages twice to get a good result and it would take a long time to heat up. This laminator takes a short time to heat up, runs the paper fast through and the lamination is very good. Also the cutter on top is very good and the edge cutter is very helpful.

Never any problems with this product. We liked it so much that when we moved and had to leave the first one overseas, we purchased a second one.

The media could not be loaded.  I had to really convince my husband I needed this and he finally agreed for me to get this! As a mom of a toddler, I have zillion photos and just printouts that I want to show to my daughter, but I also want to make sure that those pieces of paper are not ripped in 2 minutes. This is perfect for DIY learning resources. What I love about this product:- laminating pouches are included- sleek design- no noise- 3 options for beauty cutting

It was great at firs, but after a few uses it just started jamming the paper, and I do mean jamming the paper, it gets completely stuck inside the machine and at first I was freaking out because I didn't know how to get it out and not ruin the machine, but I had to stick something in the slit and pull it out, and since then it has kept doing it of and on for no reason; and I say for no reason because I always make sure that the pouch goes in straight and still.

It worked. Very light weight. The inly thing is it left bubbles in my documents. Dont heat that well but gets the job done
