Maybe older kids take.
Can you cut laminated paper.
Some people choose to cut paper items and then laminate them.
It will also always cut more precise than cutting things by hand.
Laminated stuff tends to peel over time if you cut after laminating.
Let me show you the basics of print then cut as well as some hacks to cut laminated sheets.
If the kids use it cut laminate cut.
This is because the laminate will have a sealed edge where one piece of the plastic laminate fused to the other.
So far i ve only had a few instances where the lamination pulled off of the paper after cutting them.
If it was display laminate cut.
If you teach writing workshop you ve probably heard this more times than you can count.
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.
That s why i m so excited that.
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.
That s just my experience.
You want a little sealed laminate to keep the plastic from peeling off.
It saves so much time in having to hand cut things traditionally with scissors.
With the big roll laminators it would depend on if it was something the kids would use or something that would simply be taped to a wall.
If an older object was laminated and is now peeling you can send it though the laminator again.
Yes you need to cut first.
I ve found that even though cutting twice takes more time it s worth it because the laminate has a good seal.
When you cut after laminating leave a small edge of laminate don t cut right on your paper item.
So i just laminate the entire sheet then cut out my pieces.
