Laminating stock

Does anyone have experience laminating stock together to create their own duplexed paper? Is there a way to do it without spending a fortune on equipment? Also, is it possible to run completed cards through without ruining the deboss?

Thanks,

Jason

I used Scotch 77 on a small biz card job. Worked like a charm!

Thanks,

How long ago did you run these? If you go back to a sample do you notice any discoloration or delamination?

I think it was back in July. I used Neenah’s classic columns in Charcoal. So far, no discoloration or separation.

I use Super 77 too and it works great. Make yourself a jig and make sure you work in a well ventilated area. Good luck!

a light coat of 77 on each half should work fine. the jig will help with sheet alignment, as once you start to laminate you may not have much chance at a second shot. also, order/purchase your stock carefully as, if possible, mount top and bottom sheets with the grain offset by 90 degrees. this should solve any curling problems after drying.
