How to Install Hamilton Buhl Laminating Film Roll

For best results, follow these general steps to install and use this heavy-duty laminating film with your compatible laminator. Always refer to your laminator’s manual for model-specific guidance and safety precautions.

• Prepare your materials by ensuring they are clean, flat, and free of folds or creases. Align the edges to avoid skew during the feed.
• Load the film roll into the laminator according to the manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring that the film unwinds smoothly from the roll and sits properly on the feed rollers. Confirm that the 1" core is properly seated and stabilized to prevent wobble during operation.
• Set the laminator to the recommended temperature and speed appropriate for 3mm clear glossy film and the type of paper you’re laminating. If your machine supports temperature presets, select the one aligned with heavy-duty film for optimal bonding and edge sealing.
• Place your document between a suitable carrier sheet if your laminator requires one, then feed it into the rollers steadily. Maintain a consistent pace to minimize wrinkles, air bubbles, or tunneling. Avoid forcing sheets through too quickly, which can compromise adhesion and finish quality.
• Allow the laminated sheet to emerge and cool on a flat, uncluttered surface. If needed, trim any excess film with clean, straight cuts after the laminate has set. Store finished laminates flat to prevent curling and maintain the glossy appearance.
