fourcatmom Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I have decided to buy a laminator and would like to buy one today. I know the Scotch one on Amazon has been recommended but it's current price right now and they offer the same one at Wal-Mart for the same price. Has anyone seen one on sale this week? Thanks:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Costco usually has the scotch one in a bundle with a ton of pouches for about what it costs at Wal-mart. I also get my refills from them-really cheap and SO nice to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks:001_smile: I have not seen one on sale. But I haven't been looking, either. :D Because I just *had* to have one, saw the Scotch one on lighning deal before Christmas, asked my dh if I could have it, and he said sure. It's still in it's box in the basement. :001_huh: I feel guilty. I know it was like $18, but still. I hate the fact I haven't used it yet. So if you're near me, come one over, and you can use mine! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It costs about $1.00 a page, I think. I have a lot to laminate and it's about 30 minutes drive just to get there. I am just talking myself into it. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iucounu Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I have the Scotch laminator. I've used it so far to laminate a bunch of bookmarks and some other odds and ends. I think you get what you pay for; it's all right but nothing great. Note that it's only rated for up to 5 mil pouches, though it features a "5+ mil" setting; using 10 mil pouches can work but it's a headache. I believe that the local Staples charges $1/page for 3 mill lamination, $1.50 for 5 mil, and $2 for 10 mil, so it will eventually pay for itself.

Sounds like it would be worth it for you to buy one. My Target carries the Scotch one (which is the one I have) and it comes with pouches. It doesn't show the price online though.

I am not feeling well so driving all over town isn't an option and nothing was coming up when I searched online. Thanks Again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, $1.50 per page for 5 mil sheets at Staples. The Scotch works fine for 5 mil, I've found. Do you have a paper cutter/trimmer? It sounds like you'll find one handy for the cards and future use, though you could just use high-quality scissors. I use the CARL RBT-12N.

I hadn't even thought about that! I knew I had to cut them up but I don't even own a pair of adult scissors at the moment. I use the kids. Even if I went to have the laminating done, I would have to cut them up myself. I guess I will pick up something when I go out. Thanks for the reminder! And, no paper cuter either. I am really just starting to get the supplies that I need, one step at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen A Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 My Aldi's has laminators on sale this week--don't know what kind, exactly, but I think they were about $19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
