Lamination film is a transparent packaging material that can be used to seal documents, photos, cards, etc. After sealing, the paper will not be wetted by water, and it is not easy to get dirty or broken, and it looks smoother and more textured.
Is it necessary to use a laminator for lamination film?
In most cases, yes.
Lamination film itself is two layers of transparent film with a layer of glue in the middle. To make the glue stick to the document, it must be heated and pressed. The function of the laminator is to heat and press the film to make it stick firmly to the paper.
Why use a laminator?
✅ Heating just right: let the glue melt evenly without bubbling
✅ Press tightly: the document sticks well and will not loosen
✅ Simple operation: get one sheet done in a few seconds, saving time and effort
Can it be laminated without a machine?
Yes, but the effect is not as good as a laminator
There is something called "self-adhesive lamination film" or "cold lamination film" on the market. You don't need to heat it. Just tear it open and stick it on both sides of the document and press it. This method is more suitable for temporary use, children's handicrafts, or occasional use at home.
But its disadvantages are:
Not as strong as hot plastic sealing
May warp over time
Waterproof and dustproof effect is average
