Luckily, Fellowes has you covered because they make just about everything you need to bind and laminate. Here s a look at their supplies.
Laminating Supplies:
To use a pouch laminator, you need pouches. Fellowes makes a wide variety of pouches for almost every need imaginable.
* Pre punched pouches. These supplies are ideal for when you need to make professional looking I.D. badges and luggage tags. They come in several different thicknesses ranging from 5 to 10 mil. Some of the luggage tags even come with loops so you can attach them to your bags almost as soon as they exit the laminator.
* Self adhesive pouches. If you want to do cold lamination, you need self adhesive pouches. These products respond well to pressure and don t need heat to activate the adhesive. They re great for business cards, photos, letter sized items, and more. They come in both 3 and 5 mil varieties.
* Premium laminating pouches. These supplies are perfect for when you re using your laminator s hot settings. They re available for documents of varying sizes (i.e. 8.5 x 11 , 4 x 6 ) and run between 3 and 10 mil thick. You can even purchase starter packs that have a variety of different pouches for different types of documents.
Binding Supplies:
Bookbinding requires a lot of different supplies, from the plastic combs and wire spines to the covers. Here s some of what what Fellowes has to offer....
* Spines and combs. Two of the most popular binding methods are wire and plastic comb. Wire binding involves using C shaped wire elements and then closing the spine with your machine. Fellowes makes wire elements in a variety of different thicknesses (up to 9/16 ) and in two colors: black and white. Meanwhile, their plastic combs offer an easy and economical binding method. They re available in thicknesses up to 2 and come in colors such as black and blue.
* Binding covers. The right cover can really add a nice finishing touch to your bound document. Fellowes offers some great covers including ones that are oversized, clear, and have a grain finish. They even make CopyLux covers that are fully customizable and can be run through your laser or ink jet printer.
* Thermal binding covers. If you want to make your documents look like real hardbound books, this bookbinding method is for you. To take advantage of this method, you need thermal covers. Fellowes makes them in linen, gloss, and grain finishes. They can bind documents that are up to 1 thick.
* Starter kits. Finally, you can buy starter kits that contain spines/combs and covers to use with your machine.
Fellowes makes some great machines and they even manufacture all you ll need to laminate and bind your important documents. Pick up some supplies today so you can get productive!
