Trimming Your Laminating Pouches

It is so easy to laminate your own documents, but, what do you do when you need to trim your laminated document? There are plenty of different ways to get the job done, some work well and some simply don’t. We are going to explain 3 good options for trimming your laminating pouch.

The first way is to use scissors. I know it sounds simple, but if you do it right your document can look like it was trim professionally. Scissors work the best if you are using a thin laminate like 3mil or 5mil. The only way to make a clean cut using scissors however is to make one cut and then slide the scissors along that line all the way to the end of the document. One drawback to this is that it can be very difficult to get a straight line.

A razor blade and a straight edge such as a ruler can be a great way to get the straight clean line that you are probably looking for in your laminated document. This trimming method can take a while and requires a lot of room and most likely a cutting mat so that you don’t scratch your counters or tables, etc. This method can be dangerous because it can be very easy to slip and cut yourself if you are not careful.

The last method and probably most efficient method for trimming your laminating pouches is to use an automated laminating trimmer. This is a great option if you have a lot of documents that need trimming. They can be very difficult to configure and are obviously more expensive than the other two alternatives. However, if you are a company that is looking to save some time and money this would probably be worth investing in. Do some research on some good brands and see if this is the right option for you, if not, i would personally stick to the razor blade and straight edge method.
