Step 1: Prep

Make sure your machine is warm and ready to go.

• The on/off button can be found either as a toggle switch on the back or a push button on the top
• Choose your pouch setting, either 3 mil or 5 mil depending on the thickness of the pouch you are working with
• Warm up times can take between 1-6 minutes depending on your machine, your machine is warm enough to start laminating once the ready light illuminates.
• If your machine has a feeding tray, ensure it is extended in the ready position

Step 2: Place

Place your project inside the laminating pouch.

• Center your item inside the pouch checking that you leave laminate margin on every side for best sealing results
• Have some fun with it by stacking multiple layers of colorful paper, confetti or lettering on top of one another

Step 3: Insert

Place the Sealed End of the pouch into the machine, with the open end following behind.

• Check to make sure the pouch lines up to the opening to prevent an uneven or angled feed through
• Remove any objects that could get in the way of your project as it feeds out of the machine

Step 4: Seal

Let the laminator do its thing!

• Avoid pulling or obstructing the pouch as it feeds through the laminator
• Your project will be hot when it exits the machine so use caution

Helpful tip: Cut/trim pouches only AFTER feeding through the machine
