For a more uniform laminating result we recommend, especially for thinner foils (below 125 Micron) and with adjustment to a different foil thickness, to first wait an additional ca. 2-3 minutes before beginning with lamination. . Lay the document to be laminated into a laminating pouch of the appropriate size. ..Make certain that all corners of the document have at least two millimetres of space to the edge of the laminating pouch, as shown in Fig. 1.
