Can you cut laminated pages.

So far i ve only had a few instances where the lamination pulled off of the paper after cutting them. First though cut the edges of the old plastic film as close the paper as you can and be sure the object is clean and dry. This can be time consuming. Removing lamination from id cards and recently laminated documents can be done safely using heat.

I laminate and then cut and have no problems. According to office zone if you sent your paper through when the machine was too hot sending it through the machine a second. Place the object over a heating element covered with cloth and slowly lift the laminate with a razor or sharp edged knife. Feb 28 2007 messages.

If it was display laminate cut. I haven t had my personal laminator long so i haven t experimented with laminating then cutting yet. You do have to wait until it is very hot and slow. If you lack another kind of trimmer you can definitely use the scissors to trim your laminated documents especially if you used thinner film.

This is because the laminate will have a sealed edge where one piece of the plastic laminate fused to the other. So i just laminate the entire sheet then cut out my pieces. Some people choose to cut paper items and then laminate them.
