Truly a powerful tool in the Arsenal.
I need me one of these!
I <3 mine. I even built a holder for it so that completed lamination drops out instead of sticking around next to the heater rolls and warping.
Amazon had a deal on one of these puppies the other day. I regret not snatchin’ it…
Adam Day that was the deal I got. Like $18 or something.
I swear by my paper cutter as my best game crafting tool, personally, but I’ve seen people do some amazing things with a laminator!
the next level up is a serious guillotine, so you can prototype games with loads of chits. Join us.
Laminated playbooks rule
I laminate the crap out of board game reference sheets, and other components made of thin cardstock. I’ve also laminated a bunch of fun stuff for my RPGs, but they don’t see as much play nowadays, so the former gets way more laminating action.
LAMINATE ALL THE THINGS
Paul Beakley I’m now waiting patiently for another deal before the holiday. *sigh* Shoulda jumped on that one…
Adam Day I’ve waited three years!
I tend to use premade laminating sleeves rather than full sheets, whenever possible. It is easier for me than cutting smaller items out of a full sheet laminating sleeve: some paper items shift around during the lamination process, which removes any nice even lines I could have used to trim them to a particular size. The sleeves are all perfectly sized!
One can get laminating sleeves for business card-sized paper, and there are even poker-card-adjacent sleeves (look for military ID sleeves without the prepunched hole).
Sure, Joe Mitchell! So the glue stick works? Thank you for that recommendation.
The glue stick thing is genius.
I’m probably gonna do up a small stack of laminated index cards (indie games require so very many sad things be written on them) and this would be a perfect solution.
They make index card sleeves too!
