Four Reasons to Use a Carrier With your Pouch Laminator

December 15th, 2010 Andrew No comments

In the past almost every pouch laminator would require the use of a pouch carrier. However, in recent years more and more manufacturers are advertising that you can use their machines without a carrier. These machines often use silicon or ceramic heated rollers and Teflon coated heating plates and they are able to pass the documents through without a carrier. However, just because these laminators can run documents without a carrier doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t use a carrier. Here are four reasons you should always use a pouch carrier with your laminator.

1. When you laminate documents the heat from the rollers activates and melts a layer of adhesive inside the laminating pouch. This adhesive is what makes the pouches stick to your documents and provides the lasting laminated effect. When the adhesive is melted during the laminating process it is possible (and likely) that some adhesive will squeeze out of the edges of the pouch. If you are using a pouch carrier the adhesive will never come into contact with your laminating rollers. However, if you aren’t using a carrier the adhesive will squish out onto the rollers of your laminator and will begin to build up. Over time, this buildup of laminating adhesive can cause all sorts of problems.

2. If you run laminating pouches without a carrier you exponentially increase the chances of the pouches getting wrapped around the rollers. The buildup of adhesive mentioned in point number one can cause a pouch to stick to the rollers and to curl around the rollers instead of exiting the laminator. If you catch the problem quickly it is sometimes possible to salvage your laminator. However, many laminators end up in the garbage every year because of this problem. A pouch carrier adds additional rigidity to keep the pouches from curling and helps to ensure that even if things would start to wrap up that the adhesive won’t fuse the pouch and document onto the laminating rollers.

3. A laminating pouch carrier can help to ensure that the finished laminated document is smooth and free from heat marks or imperfections. The carrier helps to ensure that there is a smooth surface against the pouch and document when the laminator is feeding the materials. Small amounts of adhesive on the rollers or imperfections will not affect the laminating process as dramatically when using a pouch carrier.

4. When handling laminating pouches while they are still hot it is very easy to leave marks and fingerprints on the laminated surface. With a pouch carrier it is easy to move the laminated material to the side where it can cool without ever needing to touch the actual document. This can be extremely helpful.

Ever pack of pouches that you buy should come with a pouch carrier and if you need extras they are extremely inexpensive. With these things in mind, it is highly advisable to use a carrier with every document that you laminate. It can save you time, money and hassle if you do.

What to Do if you Wrap Laminating Film Around the Rollers on your Roll Laminator

December 15th, 2010 Andrew No comments

If you work at a school and you haven’t had a teacher or parent volunteer wrap laminating film around the rollers of your laminator, consider yourself lucky. It seems like nearly every school secretary has a at least one horror story involving someone loading the school laminator incorrectly. And trust, me it isn’t too hard to make a big mess. However, it isn’t the end of the world. Here are a few quick steps to follow to get your laminator back up and running again …

First, DO NOT PANIC. Wrapping laminating film around the rollers of your machine is not going to ruin the laminator. However, if you panic and decide to try to scrape the laminating film off with a razor blade knife (true story) or run the motor continuously while the machine is jammed (also a true story) you might ruin the laminator. Just remain calm, stop the laminator from running and under no circumstances use anything sharp on those rollers.

After you have calmed down, you are ready to get down to the business of fixing your laminator. The first step in this process is cut off the unlaminated material so that no more laminate can wrap around the rollers. To do this simply cut the unlaminated material before it reaches the roller. Again, be very careful not to touch the rollers with anything sharp.

After the unlaminated material is cut loose from the machine the next step is to try to get any loose laminating film off of the machine. Depending on how much material is wrapped around the rollers of the machine this may or may not be difficult. It is often much easier to remove the film from the rollers when they are hot. Of course, be careful not to burn yourself on the hot rollers. However, the rollers don’t actually get that hot and you should be able to work with the laminator when the rollers are heated.

After you have done your best to peel all of the laminating film off the rollers that you can, you will probably notice that there is still residue left on the rollers. If you leave this residue it will stick to any new laminating film that you load and cause you to wrap film around the rollers again. Thus you need to remove. The easiest way to accomplish this is using a scouring pad (one of those green ones from the kitchen) while the rollers are still hot. You can use the motor of the laminator to advance the rollers as needed to make sure that all of the areas of the roller are clean. Be sure to remove all of the residue from the silicon rollers. Once the rollers are completely clean you will be ready to load film onto your laminator again.

As you can probably tell, cleaning a laminator with film wrapped around the rollers is not incredibly fun and can be somewhat time consuming. However, new rollers for most school roll laminators cost 0 or more so there is definitely incentive for cleaning them off. Then when you are finished, remember to make sure that your volunteers know how to properly load the laminator to make sure that it doesn’t get wrapped up again.
