So easy to use! Plug it in and laminate! This laminator has been great for laminating photos that I want to preserve in my scrapbooks. I have also found it handy for laminating certain important papers, such as insurance paper cards that would otherwise get crumpled up in my purse. The laminator works great and is easy to use. The thermal lamination removes any air bubbles so that you have a nice smooth sheet or product. The laminator heats up quickly, within 2-4 minutes and operates quietly. You can laminate sheets up to 9 inches in width. This is quite a bit larger than any previous laminator that I’ve had. It is lightweight, making it easy to take along with me to the office where it is always useful!
