Question:

We are going to a convention and are thinking of laminating business cards for luggage tags. The laminator needs to be durable and fast. I would like to know if you think the Akiles APL-100 Pouch Laminator would work for this purpose. I also need luggage tags with a slot pouch and the flexible plastic loop straps. Also, what mil would you recommend for this type of application?

Answer:

The Akiles APL-100, or Pro-Lam 100 pouch laminator will do just fine. This model has a four-inch wide opening and is ideal for laminating luggage tags, business cards, ID cards and more. Over the years, we have found Akiles products to be durable, reliable and made of high-quality materials. Their laminators are no exception. The APL-100 will handle your luggage tag job. It features a four-roller system that ensures a consistent, flat laminated surface. It also comes with a one-year manufacturer’s warranty.

We carry luggage tag lamination pouches with a slot and the flexible plastic luggage straps. The mil thickness I recommend for your application would be either a seven or 10 mil. This thickness of film creates a sturdy, long-lasting luggage tag.
