Laminating film is a great choice for protecting documents, photos, certificates and other items, but many people may encounter bubble problems when using laminating film. Today, we will share some tips and tricks to help you avoid laminating film bubbles and ensure that every laminating is smooth and perfect!
1. Choose the right laminating film
There are laminating films of different thicknesses and materials on the market. Choosing the right laminating film can reduce bubble problems.
2. Clean and level the items
Any stains or uneven surfaces will cause the laminating film to not adhere evenly and easily form bubbles. Use a soft cloth to wipe the items and make sure they are completely dry.
3. Avoid air ingress
Before placing the items in the laminating film, make sure the items are placed flat and there is no air between the film and the items.
4. Set the machine temperature correctly
When using a laminating machine, make sure the temperature is moderate. Too high or too low a temperature can cause bubbles. Lower temperatures may prevent the laminating film from being completely sealed, while higher temperatures may cause the film to deform or form bubbles.
5. Slowly pass through the machine
When using a laminator, avoid pushing documents or items through the machine too quickly. Passing through the machine quickly may cause the film to heat unevenly, resulting in bubbles.
6. Use smoothing tools
If bubbles appear during the laminating process, use a smoothing tool (such as a scraper or laminating scraper) to gently flatten the bubbles. During the laminating process, if you find bubbles, adjust the position in time and smooth the surface with a tool to help expel the air.
7. Cool and laminate again
If you find that there are still bubbles after laminating, let the laminated item cool and send it through the laminator again for re-laminating.
With these tips, you can greatly reduce the occurrence of bubbles and ensure flawless laminating every time.
