According to office zone if you sent your paper through when the machine was too hot sending it through the machine a second. First though cut the edges of the old plastic film as close the paper as you can and be sure the object is clean and dry. So far i ve only had a few instances where the lamination pulled off of the paper after cutting them. Chances are you have a pair of scissors at your disposal.

If you don t want to do this you can cut laminated paper that has a sealed edge but be aware that it is no longer completely waterproof. This can be time consuming. So i just laminate the entire sheet then cut out my pieces. I haven t had my personal laminator long so i haven t experimented with laminating then cutting yet.

However if it makes sense and you can fit more pieces on your lamination by cutting first by all means go for it. If you do use scissors slide them through the laminate don t open and close the blades. Removing lamination from id cards and recently laminated documents can be done safely using heat.
