How to install Fellowes Letter-Size Glossy Laminating Pouches

• Step 1 — Prepare your document: Ensure it is clean and free of dust or debris. Decide which side should face outward and place the document inside the pouch with a steady, even margin of at least 1/8 inch on all sides to prevent edge exposure during lamination.
• Step 2 — Load and align: Place the open edge of the pouch into the laminator feeder first, keeping the document centered. Feed slowly and steadily to avoid skewing, and confirm that the laminator is set to the correct temperature for glossy laminating pouches to ensure a smooth seal.
• Step 3 — Lamination process: Run the pouch through the laminator following the manufacturer’s recommended settings for thickness and speed. Allow the heated film to bond with the document as it passes through, then let the laminated sheet cool on a flat surface to finish the seal.
• Step 4 — Trim and finish: If desired, trim any excess film with a clean straight cut, taking care not to nick the sealed edges. After trimming, recheck the seal and ensure there are no loose ends or air pockets that could compromise protection.
• Step 5 — Care and storage: Store laminated sheets flat in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to preserve the glossy finish and prevent warping. Handle with clean hands to minimize fingerprint marks on the surface.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What documents can I laminate with these pouches?

A: The Fellowes Letter-Size Glossy Laminating Pouches are designed for standard 8.5 x 11 inch documents. They’re suitable for a wide range of materials, including reports, certificates, resumes, menus, photos, forms, and school handouts. For best results, ensure your documents are properly oriented and placed within the sealed margins before lamination.

Q: Are these pouches compatible with all laminators?

A: They are intended for use with most heated (hot) laminators that support letter-size pouches. Always verify your laminator’s temperature settings and recommended thickness for glossy pouches to achieve a clean, bubble-free seal.

Q: Can I reuse or re-laminate laminated sheets?

A: Laminated sheets are typically a one-way process. Once sealed, they cannot be re-sealed to remove air bubbles or reinsert documents without potentially damaging the laminate. For best results, ensure you are laminating the correct document the first time and consider a test sheet if you’re new to laminating.

Q: How should I store laminated documents to maintain quality?

A: Store laminated sheets flat and away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Clean the glossy surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove fingerprints, and avoid abrasive cleaners that could dull the finish.
