We have 4 laminators and stock laminate in 3 different weights: 1.5 mil (light), 3.0
mil (medium), and 5.0 mil (heavy). The lightweight laminate is great for preserving
items that will not be handled excessively. The medium weight is sturdier and is good
for heavier weight papers. The maximum width for the light and medium weight laminators
is 24 inches. Heavy weight is ideal for items that will endure heavy usage or outdoor
conditions. The maximum width to heavy laminate is 30.5 inches.
Our slide cutters are a safe and easy way to cut a straight line every time!
