You do have to wait until it is very hot and slow.
Can you cut laminated pages.
However if it makes sense and you can fit more pieces on your lamination by cutting first by all means go for it.

This will give you a smoother cut.
Chances are you have a pair of scissors at your disposal.
According to office zone if you sent your paper through when the machine was too hot sending it through the machine a second.
If you don t want to do this you can cut laminated paper that has a sealed edge but be aware that it is no longer completely waterproof.
Some people choose to cut paper items and then laminate them.
If you do use scissors slide them through the laminate don t open and close the blades.

So far i ve only had a few instances where the lamination pulled off of the paper after cutting them.
So i just laminate the entire sheet then cut out my pieces.
If it was display laminate cut.
I laminate and then cut and have no problems.
Chemical baths are used for antique documents under an archivist s direction.
This is because the laminate will have a sealed edge where one piece of the plastic laminate fused to the other.
First though cut the edges of the old plastic film as close the paper as you can and be sure the object is clean and dry.
If an older object was laminated and is now peeling you can send it though the laminator again.
This can be time consuming.
If you lack another kind of trimmer you can definitely use the scissors to trim your laminated documents especially if you used thinner film.
