General Information
The Easy Home 9 inch laminator can accommodate laminator pouches up to 9"x11.5" in size, which is the perfect size for projects up to 8.5"x11". Please note that it can take up to 15 minutes for the laminator to heat up fully. Laminator sheets are fed into the back of the laminator with the closed-side of the pouch going in first.
Using the Laminator
The laminator is available for BALibrary cardholders to use independently in the MakerLab on a walk-in basis, as long as there is not a program in session in the MakerLab or the laminator is not already in use. You can ask the Business and Technology staff to set out the laminator in the MakerLab for you if the Digital Services staff are not available. If you'd like to reach out ahead of time, you can either email Digital Services at DigitalServices@balibrary.org, or you can reach us by phone at 847-382-1300 ext. 2200.
Customers are welcome to bring in their own appropriately sized laminator pouches, or they may purchase lamination sheets from staff at $0.10 a sheet.
