## Description

Product Description desertcart Basics 12-Inch Thermal Laminator Machine From the Manufacturer desertcart Basics

Review: Very simple to use. Small items, cut to fit or try multiple items on the same page. - This is a very good item to have. Not expensive and very handy. Not something you use all the time, but we love having ours. We used it for many things for ourselves and others. There is also a corner cutter that works very well and keeps the corners round and clean-looking.
Review: Quality Product - Inexpensive Price Tag - I ordered the desertcartBasics laminator long ago, but finally had the opportunity to start using it. It works great and has provided an easy and flawless experience thus far. Plug it in, stick whatever your laminating in the pouch, and insert it into the laminator. That's all there is to it. The laminator can handle two pouch thicknesses - 3mm and 5mm. I've only used the 5mm pouches and can't comment on the difference in quality between the two. The 5mm thickness gives the item your laminating a sturdy, but flexible feel. If using a driver's license as a comparison, it would be a little less rigid than that. After turning on the laminator and switching it to the 5mm option it takes about a minute to warm up and give you the green light to go ahead. While laminating back to back items the green light will go off for a bit and then back on. I assume this is do to a drop in temperature while the lamination process is taking place. When I saw it happen the first time I was worried that the quality of the lamination would decrease. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it did not. If there was a temperature drop, it wasn't big enough to effect the quality. The body of the unit does get warm to the touch. I would suggest a flat, hard surface with some space around to let the heat move away from the machine. The items being laminated come out almost cool to the touch. A little warm, but not much at all. That was a surprising and positive quality to the laminator as well. I'm extremely pleased with the purchase. I would recommend this laminator to anyone and tell you to buy it with confidence. It does the job, produces quality laminations, and is inexpensive.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I keep having problems with this not feeding the sheets through properly - they keep getting crinkled around the edges and folding in the machine.**
A: I was having the same issues. This answer from 2014 solved my problems! You have to shove it all the way up. 
"Check that the reverse lever at the back is in the correct position, it gets knocked easily and causes it to stop/ back up & get ruined." 

Dan · October 2, 2014

**Q: Are the resulting laminated items stiff or really flexible? I usually laminate at Kinko's and the results are a harder laminate**
A: Just buy lam sheets in different thickness. 3 mil is thin and flexible. The 10 mil is thick and rigid when done.  There's also a 5 mil on the market. Assuming the machine has heat settings for 5 and 10 mil.

**Q: Can you laminate numerous pages one right after another or do you need to wait? Need to laminate about 22 pages. Thanks!**
A: Short answer is yes, I have done 30 pages with no problem. I run a page and while its going I set the next one up. Might be a few seconds in between but thats about it, no waiting.

**Q: Will this AmazonBasics laminator work with other brand laminating pouches? Has anyone tried this for example with the smaller Scotch brand pouches?**
A: Any "hot" laminating sheets are supposed to work. I use the "Universal" brand ones that I bought from Amazon and they work great. There are several sizes. The one I use most often is model 84642 which are business card size.
