30 laminating pouches INSTEAD of 20 laminating pouches / cold laminating roller INCLUDED

I've been looking for a quality laminator for a long time. However, I wanted a cold lamination feature that less expensive thermal laminators didn't have. So it's good to know that this machine gives you the best of both worlds. I have many old newspaper obituaries and wedding photo clippings that I just trust to preserve with cold lamination. I've always been afraid of damaging them, including my old black and white photos in a simple thermal laminator. The first thing I did when this machine arrived was try the cold lamination feature. I purchased separate self-adhesive cold-laminate pouches specifically designed for this purpose. The instructions that came with it made it easy to follow the instructions (see image). I just waited for the green light to come on and inserted my document. It just turned out good. Of course, it allowed me to do things that I would normally do by hand with a ruler or say a credit card, but much more professionally. A separate machine roller ensures a perfect 360 degree equal print all around, while I did it manually by hand. I don't have to risk blisters or the pouch that comes off and destroys an irreplaceable family heirloom. The roller for the cold laminating line is the decisive argument. Don't forget to mention the quick and easy setup in just 5 minutes to start using the system. Its compact size of 9 inches fits very well in my small home office. I didn't want to hide the car in a drawer every time I was done with it. Only to find I'll have to adopt it later for another project that I suddenly thought of the next day. A white laminator on the front also didn't clash with my newly renovated office decor (see picture). This laminator perfectly matches the style of this interior designer. Free add-ons are also important to me with every purchase. I'm impressed that the laminator comes with 30 sample laminating pouches instead of the 20 the other vendors offered. The exact warm-up time of 2 minutes is also very fast. Paying more money for a competitor's machine just to shave 1 minute off the boot time seems utterly ridiculous to me. Most other machines in this product's price range require a wait of at least 5 minutes, although they advertise that they warm up much faster. Many also do not offer a 2-reel system. I especially love that HOPVISION offers an additional discount to the already low online price when you shop through Revain. Nowadays, every little savings you can find counts. At first I thought the corner rounder was missing, but I found it in one of the protective foam packaging. It is housed in the foam and therefore very easy to miss (see image). Make sure you check there before hastily throwing them away. One of the best features I love about this car is the rear ABS switch (see picture). If you encounter a jam, just flip a switch and your system will shut down immediately. The jam error statistic of just 0.1% for this laminator is also one of the best in the industry. Undoubtedly, it is a great product for home and office use. I also feel safe knowing there is a full 12 month guarantee. So far I've used it to store paper contracts, commemorative postcards, baseball cards, commemorative postage stamps, cherished handmade greeting cards, recipes, autographs. Business cards, family recipes, children's school drawings made of thick paper, school reports, scrapbook covers with matches, diplomas. Seriously, the list goes on. You should jump right in there and pick up yours today. Sorry guys, I couldn't resist the play on words. Happy laminating everyone :) Please stay healthy
