The various uses of the laminating pouch are simply endless! There are many homes, businesses and organisations who now keep their own laminating machine so that they can take care of their needs as and when they arise. Available in large, almost industrial models for heavy duty use and also in small, very much portable models for small organisation and individual use, the laminating machine has advanced in recent years to cater for all! But what do we use laminating machines for? Read on and we’ll tell you!

Publicity: How many times have you seen signs and posters hung on telegraph poles, posts and fences in the street? Countless times right?! Advertising your event, service, job or even missing pet, in this way is very effective as they immediately grab the attention of your audience; the great British public. Using A4 laminating pouches will protect your poster from the elements so that the message is always clear, legible and frankly, as good as new!

Preservation: Laminating is the best way to protect a document or certificate. The completely enclosed paper will not age, deteriorate, crease, rip, fade or fly away, it will stay perfect. So next time you, or even your child is presented with an award, a certificate or a paper momentum of some kind, or similarly, next you present someone else with a certificate, consider laminating it so that not only will it keep its perfection, but also so it can be hung, pride of place on your wall.

Presentation: When you look around public buildings or places of work, you will see the various notices hung on the walls, pin boards and foyers. For example, health and safety guideline posters, fire safety notices, not to mention the various warnings, groups and symptom sheets you see hung in your doctor’s surgery. These notices will have been laminated for presentation purposes. If you were to hang a bare sheet, it will crumple, age and generally deteriorate, eventually looking too shabby to hang on the wall.

Here at Office 365 we have a variety of laminating pouches in glossy, matt and even self adhesive options! Our A4 variety is available from 5 Star and GBC and come in 150, 160, 200 and 250 micron thicknesses, plus we have huge savings available across the entire range!

Today, the most frequently laminated items are used for signage, reference documents, filing documents, labelling, identifying items, continuous banners and for general everyday use. With this in mind, GBC has a vast range of pouches specifically designed for the above applications amongst many others. GBC understand and appreciate the different environments in which lamination takes place and have developed High Speed, Self Align, Self Adhesive, Selection Packs and Premium Quality pouches to suit each environment.

Did you know?

• The thickness stated in microns is the total thickness of both sides of the laminating pouch. So a 150 micron pouch is made up of two sides of 75 micron
• As laminating pouches are typically sealed along the shortest side and left open along the other three sides, positioning is easy for all capabilities
• Photos and glossy prints can also be laminated when the correct pouches are used
• Pouches range in thickness from 150 micron to 500 micron
• GBC laminating pouches are available in several sizes from A5 through to A3
• For a more flexible finish choose 75micron or less and for a more rigid document choose 175mic or 250mic per pouch side

The most popular A3 laminating pouches are those made by GBC. This is probably due to their extensive research into laminating environments and their understanding of consumer needs.
