East Coast Sue Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Where is the best & cheapest place to laminate? About how much to laminate all 5 sets of VP history/Bible cards? Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Ledge Academy Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I bought a laminator online from JoAnn fabric, it was a simple setup, no electricity, just turn the crank. I did all of my hx cards, but I can't help you out with cost, I don't remember, I might have used 1 cartridge per set of cards? I am glad I did it though.

TheCoffeeChick Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 When I worked at the public library we offered laminating services at 10 cents per inch long -- the machine was about 25 inches wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggirl Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I put mine in binders in page protectors. Staples has both a binder and the right size of protectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehogs4 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 hey, i like that sheet protector idea...however...i laminated mine all by myselfey, with great satisfaction i might add. i bought a box of the heat laminating sheets at sam's club, and a heat laminator at walmart (for about 20 bucks) and now, nothing flat in my house is safe. ("do not try to resist...you will be a-laminated!") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyej Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I put mine in binders in page protectors. Staples has both a binder and the right size of protectors. We've done the same, and I really like the outcome. I used to have a set of VP cards hole-punched and on a ring, and it was just a pain for me. The Avery "memo-sized" binder and page protectors from Staples are just perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessMcG Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I got a friend to do mine for $35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I had a great laminator...my parent's....and I purchased the laminator pouches from Oregonlam.com They have flat shipping and have lots of office supplies. I laminate all kinds of things...phonics cards, all my CC stuff, VP cards, on and on and on. Depending on what size your laminator can handle, you can do placemates of things like US Maps....etc. I suggest using at least 3mm for most things...(or 5mm...either are fine) For the VP cards, I like pushing the top of the card all the way to where the pouch is already sealed, and then punching two holes on the bottom of the cards and using rings from flyboys.com Their rings don't "bite" the cards...

SonshineLearner Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Oops... forgot to add that the boxes of just right sized pouches... ( I purchased rounded corners) are about $8.00 ... You'll need two boxes..... (So about $23 for the shipping and two boxes....) Carrie:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
