For smaller do it yourself projects this is great. Purchased for less than the cost of having the job done and have supplies remaining for future projects as well.
I'm a teacher and I bought this laminator to create resources that I'll be able to use over and over again. This laminator was on sale so it was affordable and it has done countless projects for me since I purchased it. Very easy to use and reliable. Highly recommend!
This is replacing a more sophisticated laminator that was constantly jamming up. For our small projects this new Staples laminator is perfect. Heats up more quickly than our last machine and it laminates various materials quite well. The best part is that we don't have to deal with that cardboard-like feeder carrier -- just place the paper inside the laminating pouch and put the pouch directly into the machine. Works great. It's a bit slow so I wouldn't use this a big project but to do 1 to 10 sheets at one time it's perfect.
