Do I need to buy pouches? Or should I just insert the paper to laminated?

Yes, buy the pouches. Otherwise nothing would be over the paper. This unit works wonderfully. A great deal for the price.

Must use the plastic pouches. The laminating unit provides heat to fuse the pouch around your paper item.

Only the laminating material - and it comes with a sample of that. The machine handles both 3mm and 5mm laminating pouches.

It would be a bad idea to send large stacks of documents in plain poly envelopes. At the very least, the corners will get badly bumped/bent and given the weight of stacked paper, there will be the risk of rips and tears. Your clients will not be impressed, to say the least.

thicker pockets are more advisable. Double lamination might create bubbles.

yes, but the pouches are cheap and do not stick together on every side, even after sending through laminator second time. Had to go to Office Depot to purchase another brand; more expensive but held together.

We have never used this type of sheet. We've only used the Office Depot 4/6 inch photo laminating pouches.

Yes you will need to run them thru the laminating machine but no other materials are needed

All I ever due is insert the laminate direct. No cover needed just make sure you're on the right mil setting.

No it does not. You would have to purchase laminating pouches 3-5 mil separately.

The pouch is a refill. Buy the canister 1x then refill. Or you could just buy pouches and store it in Tupperware I suppose �

Yes. I personally used paper for the insert, but there is a fair amount of room within to fit other, thicker materials.

Sure you can but it depends on the way the hot melt adhesive bonds to your paper. The sheets of the laminating pouches are pretty well guaranteed to bond to each other, thereby surrounding the laminated object, but you may run into problems trying to bond to a random surface.

I bought some scotch brand laminating pouches and have used them and they seem to work great!

From my experience, if you cut the laminate all the way to the edge of the picture/paper it still remains laminated. The pouches adhere to either side of document or picture once you put it through the laminator.

My girlfriend and I each have one. She sold me on hers and that is why I bought one. We have never double laminated with it. I buy the Scotch Thermal Laminating Pouches to replace the one I need. They are great. We laminate alot of things for her classroom Her centers and etc. The do not curl or roll up. I do not know if they make thicker pockets. I hope this help . I would not want to jam my purple cow if it was too thick. What are you laminating that it needs to be that thick?

I use the paper primarily for CD inserts, which usually include text and photos. It's far better for that purpose than photo paper because (1) you can print on both sides, and (2) it's not as thick...and if you're doing a booklet with 8 or 12 pages, that's important.

No, you don't need that type. Just standard thermal laminating pouches. You can find them at any walmart, or any office supply store.
