Suggestions for laminating placemats - chopper - 06-29-2018
I have some large illustrations that I'd like to use for placemats. I'd like to get them laminated. Any suggestions on how to get them laminated, thickness etc?
I guess I could buy one (laminator) but have no exp in this at all. Suggestions?
Thanks
Chopper

Chopper,
$6.89 plus tax. DYI.
I've used these a number of times. Just take your time and do the job carefully and you'll be pleased with the result. this assumes the size of the pouch works for your pics. Amazon probably has a bigger selection of similar products in other sizes.
Note, I didn't use a laminator with them. I used a blowdryer and a squeegee. Took my time and got the job done.

3mil is probably a little bit thin for placemats. Would recommend 5mil
USI Laminate has an excellent selection of pouches and machines. USI Laminate

Lakeshore Educational stores have a diy laminator setup in house.
