PERSONAL POUCH LAMINATORS

TO LAMINATE
1. Insert the document into the
center of a laminating pouch.
2. Insert the pouch, containing
the document, into a carrier.
Carriers are included with your
pouch purchase and should
always be used when
laminating.
3. Press the 3 position switch
to “run”.
4. Insert the folded edge of he
carrier into the entrance slot of
the laminator.
5. The carrier containing the
pouch and document will
automatically feed into the
laminator and exit the rear.
6. After the carrier cools, remove
the laminated pouch. If
handled too soon before the
adhesive in the film cools and
hardens, the finished piece
may become distorted.
7. Press the 3 position switch to
“heat” if more laminating is
anticipated, or to “off” if you are
finished with your lamination.

ADJUSTING TEMPERATURE
Your USI Laminator has been carefully factory-calibrated to produce a laminated pouch of high
quality. The temperature setting has been selected to process laminating pouches for good
adhesion to the document with maximum edge seal and minimum squeeze-out of the edges.
Squeeze-out can be minimized by decreasing the temperature. However, if the temperature is
decreased too much, the adhesive may fail to adhere properly to the document and the lami-
nation will appear cloudy. If the temperature is increased too much, the lamination may wrinkle
or bubble.
