Laminating

Laminating.

So because I wanted to laminate my pages so that they could take in the booklets if they wanted to, to the workshop space. As then it will be wipe clean and worry-free.


So when I was trialing it.. 

I scored the paper before putting it through the laminator.
And also didn't and just scored the laminate after it came out.

Here are the results....

This is the colour of my stock I am using for my how to books.... I didnt score this before I folded it And it has come away at either side of the score. This tells me that I need to score the paper before and then fold the laminate.

I wasn't going to laminate the front cover of the booklets but then I realised the the inside stock with the printed material would be thicker than the cover which is obviously not very appropriate. So I decided to see if you can still see the emboss if I laminate it. And I think I just got away with it. Although you can't feel the emboss you can still see the blind emboss effect.

I didn't score this paper before laminating and and then after it came out of the laminator I scored it and folded it straight away so then because I didn't let it cool down before folding it just split and cracked down the outside edge of the fold.
