Encapsulating with a SuperStick® Flexible Pouch using a SuperStick® Sled or
release board:
1. Refer to the instruction sheet packed with each box of SuperStick® flexible pouches for specific
instructions on encapsulating.
2. Also, refer to the instruction sheet for information on compatible media, process conditions, and
technical information.
3. The flexible pouch consists of two pieces of film that are hinged at one end. Separate the two
pieces starting at the end opposite the hinge. Take care not to break the hinged seal.
4. Center the image that you wish to laminate in the pouch so that there is at least a 1/8” (3mm)
border around each of the sides. This ensures that moisture never reaches the image.
5. Place the pouch with the image on the release carrier board that is included with the flexible
pouches or SuperStick® sled carrier. The SuperStick® sled is a carrier board that is used to assist
in the handling of large flexible pouches. It is made of materials that will not damage or cause
excessive wear to the EXP 42” Plus laminators.
NOTE:
Smooth out any wrinkles with the side of the hand or a soft, flexible squeegee.
6. Better results may be achieved by taping the leading edge of the pouch to the sled, using masking
tape.
7. Adjust the control knob to the 3/16” setting for the SuperStick® sled or 1/16” for the release carrier
board to accommodate its thickness. Be sure that the heat is on, the middle LED indicator is on
and that the bottom LED is constantly on.
8. Slowly insert the sled or release carrier board with the flexible pouch on top into the inlet opening.
Ensure that the sled or release board is centered and straight. A gentle push may be required to
start the sled or release board into the machine. Hold the edge of the sled or release board until it
is engaged and the laminator begins pulling it on its own.
9. The sled or release board will feed through the laminator and automatically exit at the rear of the
machine.
10.
THE SLED or RELEASE BOARD WILL BE HOT!
Allow the board to lie flat. Be sure to cool
before removing the tape.
11. If there is any dirt or adhesive on the surface of the board, it can be removed by dampening a lint
free cloth with ISO Propyl Alcohol (IPA) and wiping the surface.
