To begin the process of selecting a laminating machine, you should ask yourself a few key questions to determine your real needs. Will you primarily be laminating standard letter-sized sheets? Will you be binding reports with a binder, attaching several sheets together? Will the bound report have just the cover laminated or all of the pages? How many sheets per week or month will you require the use of a laminating machine? The answer to these questions will determine how durable your laminating machine needs to be as well as its size.
You may find that you are limited in what you think you need because you don't know all of the capabilities and possibilities of laminating machines.
