Double sided adhesive film can be used for items that are to be laminated and then mounted, or for
making self adhesive stickers.
This can be done as a single process when using pressure sensitive film, or as a separate process.
To use double sided adhesive, load the laminator as
shown in the previous section, but instead of loading an
underlay film, load the roll of double sided adhesive.
As always, ensure the adhesive faces away from the
rollers.
It is important not to pass the double sided adhesive
behind the idler bar, as it will stick and require a difficult
clean up.
Laminate as normal. Once finished, you will be able to
peel the backing paper from the adhesive as required.
If you wish to apply a double sided adhesive to an item, but not laminate it at the same time, load an
underlay film in place of the pressure sensitive film. Pass the item through the laminator. Once it is
done, cut to the edges and remove the underlay paper.
Pressure sensitive laminates work best when warm, as the adhesive is softened. If you are not
already operating in a warm climate, you can turn the thermostat to a warm temperature in order to
improve the quality of the adhesion, and prevent the silver flecking effect caused by air bubbles.
This improvement can be quite noticeable, particularly in a cold environment. The rollers should be
warm, but not so hot you can’t leave your hand on them, as this may melt the film.
An appropriate temperature for use in heat assist mode would be around 40-60 C / 104-140 F.
