Swingline Fusion 5000LBusiness. What do you laminate in your office? Laminating can be a great way to ensure your materials last a long time and stay durable through daily use. Here are a few suggestions:

GBC Ultima 65Education. Schools everywhere use laminators regularly. So much so that many devices are sold as “school laminators”. Here are a few uses for these and other laminators commonly found in schools:

Banners Bookmarks Book protectors Bulletin boards and classroom aids Class schedules
Emergency contact lists End of the year projects Flash cards Game boards Handouts
Maps Multiplication tables Partial notes Periodic table of elements Photos
Reading lists School art and science projects Special event posters and signs Syllabus Wall calendars for a single month

menu-for-sampleRestaurants. Perhaps the most obvious laminated restaurant items would be a menu. But other options include table tents, specials, etc. Here are some of Swingline’s ideas:

Beer and wine labels Featured specials Food labels from jars or cans
In-door signs Instruction Sheets List of special entrees
Mixed drinks instructions Pictures of featured drinks or entrees Rules of the restaurant
Special event posters and signs Table number cards Training information

 

Legal. Official documents are often laminated and posted for all to see, such as the posters outlining labor laws that are usually seen in breakrooms. But there are other legal uses for laminators as well, such as:

•Legal documents •Political badges and posters •OSHA documents •FLSA minimum wage posters

Manufacturing. Just like other industries, manufacturing has its fair share of laminator usage as well. Manufacturing plants use a variety of signs for warning, instructions, maps, and more.

Equipment and lockout tags Equipment instruction labels Fire and evacuation route posters and signs Industrial machine labels
Machinery operating instructions Storage shelf and cabinet identification Warning and caution labels
