Can you cut laminated paper in half.

This will give you a smoother cut. So i just laminate the entire sheet then cut out my pieces. Traditional paper folding machines cannot handle laminated paper. These cutters are still very precise and easy to use.

If a document is urgently needed and you don t have a laminating machine there with you there are other ways in which you can laminate it. This can be time consuming. However if it makes sense and you can fit more pieces on your lamination by cutting first by all means go for it. An example would be a restaurant menu.

Some restaurants bypass this and simply use a large non folded laminated menu. These types of cutters especially kutrimmer can cut 10 40 sheets at a time depending on the model. With a bit of care you can get perfectly clean factory like edges when you cut melamine with your circular or table saw blade. This is because the laminate will have a sealed edge where one piece of the plastic laminate fused to the other.

The straight edge will keep the document perfectly flat so you can cut without any problems. If you need to cut several laminated documents at a time for medium to higher volume cutting a guillotine paper trimmer found here may be a good option. If you need a perfectly straight cut use a craft knife and straight edge. If you want to fold that menu however you must use a paper scorer.

So far i ve only had a few instances where the lamination pulled off of the paper after cutting them. Some people choose to cut paper items and then laminate them. Laminated menus look great but once laminated often need to be folded. A craft knife and straight edge.

If you do use scissors slide them through the laminate don t open and close the blades. If you need to cut hundreds of. And no need for a special 150 laminate cutting blade.
