The purpose of a carrier is to protect your laminator's rollers from any adhesive that may ooze out of a heated laminating pouch. Using a carrier will prolong the life of your laminator. Not using a carrier can mean trouble!
A carrier is a folded piece of heavy paper with a special non-stick coating on the inside (shiny side). The coating prevents melted adhesive from sticking to the paper, and the carrier prevents adhesive from getting onto the rollers or other parts of the laminator.
A carrier also helps to keep your laminated product flat and even, while it is still hot and pliable, as it exits the laminator
A carrier can be used over and over, for hundreds of laminations. We provide several carriers with each box of laminating pouches.
We recommend always using a carrier, even with a laminator that has silicon rollers.
