Has anybody tried to do a double lamination, 2 layers to make it thicker? Or should I get thicker pockets?

If you really need thicker lamination, then thicker pockets will generally work better. However, if you just want to add thickness to the 'feel' of the finished material, you can add one or more pieces of paper inside the pocket. This makes the whole finished product thicker and more stiff, so that it doesn't bend as easily.

I've managed to throw it through three layers. The only issue is the second lamination sheet doesn't exactly stick to the previous sheet, so you know how you have to leave a border around the paper or whatever you're laminating so the sheets don't separate? You have to do that for each layer of laminate. so it could wind up looking bulky and have a really thick border. I hope that makes sense!

thicker pockets are more advisable. Double lamination might create bubbles.

My girlfriend and I each have one. She sold me on hers and that is why I bought one. We have never double laminated with it. I buy the Scotch Thermal Laminating Pouches to replace the one I need. They are great. We laminate alot of things for her classroom Her centers and etc. The do not curl or roll up. I do not know if they make thicker pockets. I hope this help . I would not want to jam my purple cow if it was too thick. What are you laminating that it needs to be that thick?

Hmm...there are a number of possible solutions to your dilemma that I can see, Gordon:1. Each compartment could be subdivided by placing divider tabs into them2. You may consider purchasing two and DIY something together with a hole puncher and some twine. I can imagine the finished product would be quite long and heavy.3. Purchase two and hang them side by side like some kind of feature wall4. Buy one and use it as a template to make a twelve-pocketed version of your own

I have a Scott laminator and have always use 5 mil pouches, and never with a protector sheet. I would review your laminator requirements and see what they suggest.

I have had success cutting cards apart and other things. They have not fallen apart on me. However, I am sure it might depend on how thick the item is that you are laminating, and how your machine works. I set my machine on the 10ml setting, even though I am using 3ml sheets and it works fine for me.

I just tried it with both felt and cotton fabrics. A single layer punches ok, but fabric and felt were both 'pulled' into hole and punched hole had to be finished with scissors.. Double layers of both cut fine and were stiff enough to cut hole all the way through without having to trim with scissors. Triple layer of cotton punched fine; but felt was too thick.

Well, base on my experienced while using this since I bought it few month ago the thickness I've done yet is only up to two folded layers of a denims. I guess manufacturer should include to put this out to the manual for user reference.

I have used it in my Sizzix; however, I have to run it through more than once and sometimes I have to use scissors get my image. But I love the thickness, as it's not flimsy.

Use Strathmore Stamping cards to mount my pictures since I like the paper wt and quality.Tried Avery for slightly larger size. Liked quality & weight of paper. Each sheet gives you 2 cards.Crisp clean lines and set folds makes for easy use. Card stock quality. Good luck. Marie :)

With a few cards and a bill or two folded in, it about doubles the thickness...but I love mine. Wallet + phone case in one. When I get my 6+ I'll probably look for something similar

I have limited tries with card stock, but stock the thickness of a file folder fed singly did work for me. Thicker than that I can't comment, because I haven't tried it.

I am not sure if you can do it, but I had to do something like this and I worked around it as following:I light-glued both papers on a blank A4 paper and laminated them as one piece.

I tried scoring a laminated sheet, but it was very weak. Unless your lamination film is very thin, it will not work.

Mrs. Reinhard,Although I have never tried other laminator pockets, logic would dictate that the machine would work with any pockets. Best.

I have one-size pockets, and they fill up the whole diaper, front to back, completely unsnapped. I would say that it would be kind of scrunched up in the middle, or you might have to double them over. They are a lot thinner (although same absorbency) as my microfiber inserts, so I don't think there would be a big difference in bulk if you doubled them over.

I have some folders that are that thick. They fit and the fabric holds. A lot of them in would make it heavy so the tack or nail you use to hold it to the wall will have to be strong enough. The item has metal grommets and the fabric on mine has not torn. Of course, I only have a couple of big folders and the other pockets have smaller items in them. I hope that helps.

if its a nice stack, yes. a single sheet may be an issue. else place it between two sheets of regular paper
