If the kids use it cut laminate cut.

Can you cut laminated paper.

Let me show you the basics of print then cut as well as some hacks to cut laminated sheets. Some people choose to cut paper items and then laminate them. When your mini lessons aren t reaching every writer it might be time to reach for a picture book. That s just my experience.

Laminated stuff tends to peel over time if you cut after laminating. This can be time consuming. I ve found that even though cutting twice takes more time it s worth it because the laminate has a good seal. You want a little sealed laminate to keep the plastic from peeling off.

I haven t had my personal laminator long so i haven t experimented with laminating then cutting yet. So far i ve only had a few instances where the lamination pulled off of the paper after cutting them. That s why i m so excited that. Print the cut is one of the best things a cricut beginner can learn.

It saves so much time in having to hand cut things traditionally with scissors. If an older object was laminated and is now peeling you can send it though the laminator again. Maybe older kids take. When you cut after laminating leave a small edge of laminate don t cut right on your paper item.

This is because the laminate will have a sealed edge where one piece of the plastic laminate fused to the other. If you teach writing workshop you ve probably heard this more times than you can count. 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. So i just laminate the entire sheet then cut out my pieces.

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. However if it makes sense and you can fit more pieces on your lamination by cutting first by all means go for it. If it was display laminate cut.
