Can you cut laminated pages.

Some people choose to cut paper items and then laminate them. If it was display laminate cut. So i just laminate the entire sheet then cut out my pieces. Place the object over a heating element covered with cloth and slowly lift the laminate with a razor or sharp edged knife.

This will give you a smoother cut. First though cut the edges of the old plastic film as close the paper as you can and be sure the object is clean and dry. If you lack another kind of trimmer you can definitely use the scissors to trim your laminated documents especially if you used thinner film. According to office zone if you sent your paper through when the machine was too hot sending it through the machine a second.

This is because the laminate will have a sealed edge where one piece of the plastic laminate fused to the other. If an older object was laminated and is now peeling you can send it though the laminator again. I laminate and then cut and have no problems. If you don t want to do this you can cut laminated paper that has a sealed edge but be aware that it is no longer completely waterproof.

If you do use scissors slide them through the laminate don t open and close the blades. You do have to wait until it is very hot and slow. Feb 28 2007 messages.
