Looking for a laminator that does the job well yet is priced well.
We have Royal Sovereign Multi-purpose commercial laminator. It is $129 but such an awsome investment. I have had mine for 3 years and never had a problem. I think I got it cheaper than this though at Sams club. But I have never had any problems with this. It is 13" wide so you can even use 11" x 11" bit cards through it.
I usually buy the “menu” size. 12" x 18" that way you can even do bit cards if you want. Or you can do a bunch of word cards or flash cards and then cut it up when you are done laminating. Sometimes after I cut it I even run it through again to really seal the edges.
My nanny uses it all the time to make things for the kids to go on the wall and also to protect flash cards. It’s great also for writing sheets so they can use erasable markers and use it again and again.
