I used this machine to laminate name badges for a reunion. It saved me a lot compared to having the job done professionally and the result was excellent! The proof was in the comments of the recipients.........they loved them! Had I been a bit more forward thinking, I would have left the date off the badges. They could then have been used for many years. Oh well, live and learn.

This laminator is OK, but not great. If you've never used a hot laminator before (and have nothing to compare it to), it will seem fine. If you've used other more expensive laminators, you will understand that you get what you pay for. It can run a little cool, so the lamination pouches don't always fuse properly, leaving a slightly opaque (rather than clear) seal. I re-run those to fix the problem, but that takes time. If you plan to do several laminations in a row, you will likely have to pause between each to allow the machine to heat up. The "ready" light clicks off if multiple laminations are attempted in a row, and then the fusing problem (mentioned above) is a major issue. If you laminate one or two items a week, buy this. If you laminate several items at a time, buy a laminator with a little more horsepower.

    Comments about Staples XRX 9.5" Thermal & Cold Laminator:

    Had a very old laminator that required a carrier sleeve and did only hot laminating. As time went on the laminates started to become wavy and not very presentable. So I definitely needed a new laminator and ths one was priced right and had the features I was looking for. This unit is a little smaller but does hot and cold laminations. I like the no carrier feature and that I can do smaller laminates. Have yet to try cold laminating, but if it works as good as the hot laminating, I may just have to use that feature more.

        We took it back and exchanged it for another brand
        because it got jamed on the third use. And we do know how to use it. Staples is great at standing behind a return . Thank you for that and one of the reasons we trade so much there.

                Does this machine require the use of a carrier, into which one places the laminating pouch? So you would have a piece of paper which is inside a pouch, all of which is inside a carrier?

                  This item uses laminating pouches up to 5 mil, so something as thin as newspaper should be safe. As with any laminator, we'd recommend testing a non-important section of similar paper first!
