how to laminate 10 business cards printed in publisher front and .

[Sara Grier]

I have printed front and back (2 sheets) from Publisher using the Business
Card template. They are set up to print 10 per page. When I go to laminate
them (the entire sheets), I am unable to make 10 individual laminated cards
because where you cut them down the laminate can't help. Any ideas on a work
around? Thanks\

There are lamination pouches about the size of business cards. It probably is your
only solution. You could try separating the cards and hope the heat will seal the
space between.

Yes indeed. I use these myself and they work well - if a tad
expensive.

Hi John,

I use business card stock for lodge ID Cards and thus
those who wish will have them laminated.

It's best if you don't use the entire width and if you
then use a trimmer to round the corners.

Hi Don,

I can certainly understand the reasoning
for laminating an ID card.

Because I wanted my cards in colour and I don't have a colour laser
printer. Therefore, my cards were printed on an inkjet printer.
Inkjet ink can run/smear if it gets damp. Although I take care to
keep them safe and dry, there is no guarantee that a potential
customer would. They could then end up with a business card where my
contact details could have become smeared and unreadable. If
laminated, the ink is sealed in and this doesn't happen.

Ok...thanks for the reply.

A shorter answer would have been "Because I'm a perfectionist"

It sounds like you are either using a swellable polymer photo paper or some
plain card stock. Those will run or smear when wet. If you use a micro or
nano porous paper that problem is eliminated. Of course you would have to
cut out the cards manually, but with a decent little trimmer that's no
problem. The other advantage to printing cards on this kind of paper and
trimming them yourself is that you can get a yield of twelve cards per sheet
instead of 10. Just a suggestion you might want to try.
