my laminator only works (ie doesn't crumple up) when i laminate full sheets.
then i need to cut them up sometimes (ie shapes), BUT the children then peel them apart, as they can pick at the edges.
what can i do to stop the children peeling the laminates i have cut up ??

Mine used to crumple up if they weren't full but now I fold an A4 peice of paper around the top and slide laminate inbetween the fold iyswim and feed it through - works perfectly!!! :clapping:

i assume the a4 is the width of the sheet, but how long do you make it ?

Just a regular a4 piece of paper folded in half then the top edge of the laminate I insert into the fold in the paper iyswim? just to help guide it through and stop the edges getting stuck and crumpling up

just so i understand correctly, this piece of a4 paper is actually on the outside of the laminate, but you feed them threw together ??
