Do you need a compact pouch laminating machine that can be used to laminate photos, business cards, ID badges and other small material? With literally hundreds of models to choose from, you may feel a bit lost. One machine you may want to consider using is the Fellowes EXL 45-3 4 1/2\” pouch laminator. This compact laminator is extremely compact, easy to move around and is an ideal option for many people. Is it the right machine for you? Read on and learn more.

Fellowes makes paper shredders, right? While that is a correct statement, Fellowes also manufactures a wide variety of binding machines, pouch laminators and other high-end office machines. Their equipment almost always features a beautiful contemporary design. Fellowes clearly employs people that have a knack for beautiful design. Fellowes office machines are considered an affordable value.

The EXL 45-3 pouch laminator looks great. It features rounded corners and a glossy finish, which is combined with an elegant gray and white color finish. This machine is almost a piece of desktop art by itself. It will fit in nicely next to your printer, stapler or other office machine. Weighing in at only 4.25 pounds shipped, and only measuring in at 3\” x 10\” x 6\”, this little laminator can be stored just about anywhere.

While 4 1/2\” isn\’t wide enough to laminate letter-size documents, it is the ideal size for laminating ID badges, business cards and other small material. This makes the EXL 45-3 a great small item laminator. Most people that purchase this laminator use it for Photo ID purposes. Simply snap a picture, attach it to a photo ID card template, slide it in a laminating pouch and run it through this laminator. The end results look great!

The EXL 45-3 is known for its clear results. While many cheap laminators end up producing ripples, cloud patches, bubbles and other artifacts, the 45-3 produces crystal clear results. You can use this thermal pouch laminator with most laminating film out there. There is usually no need to run material through multiple times.

Setting up this laminator is extremely easy. Simply turn it on and warm it up. A light will let you know when the laminator has power and another light will let you know when it is warmed up. A dial, located on the right side of the machine, makes it easy to adjust the temperature. The EXL 45-3 takes about five minutes to warm up and can be used with laminating pouches up to 5 mils thick.

If you need to laminate signs, banners, letter size documents and other larger material, consider going with a larger laminator. Fellowes, not to mention many other people, make larger laminators. If you only plan on laminating ID badges and other smaller material, this is definitely a contender you should consider purchasing.

In conclusion, I recommend this laminator for home use, schools, businesses, universities and others that need a reliable laminator for light to medium-volume use. You will find the Fellowes EXL 45-3 at ABCOffice.com.
