Lamination helps to preserve the document and strengthen its pliability. The process requires three things: The laminating Machine, the laminating pouch and the document to be laminated.
Laminators are size specific. In other words, most Laminating Machinesrequire you to use only laminating pouches that are equal to or smaller than the maximum capacity of the machine. Additionally, laminating pouches are rated by their thickness. Thickness measurements for laminating pouches or Laminating Film are measured in one "mil" increments. Mil thickness commonly sold to the public are between 3-mil (thin) and 10-mil (thick). As a frame of reference a mil is one thousandth of an inch, or .001 inches (.025cm); glossy photo paper, for example, is usually 10 mils thick. Of course there are thicker laminating pouches, but they are most often used in industrial applications.
It is important to ensure that the laminating machine can accommodate both the thickness and dimensions of the pouch lamination that you intend to use. Keep in mind that you can always trim any excess material from the laminating pouch either before or after running the laminating pouch through the laminating machine.
Many of the work identification cards and driver's licenses that you may have seen are often laminated with laminating pouches. These lamination pouches may contain embedded holograms to ensure authenticity, while others may include a magnetic strip on the back of the card. Both of these enhancements provide diversity in the lamination pouches allow employers to create and verify authentic copies of their employee IDs.
