This is probably the simplest and easiest laminator to use. There is no heat so it's safe for your children to use. Instructions are clear and repeated on every pouch so there's nothing to memorize. Results are great (providing you use a little care in locating the article you want to laminate). I have used it for ID Cards, luggage tags, preserving articles, photos, gifts. Results have been great to outstanding! It really depends on the user because the materials are flexible and easy to use.
