	These are little powerhorses we bought in our first year. They jam easily if you aren't paying attention and decide to put two badges through them, but they can also be taken apart and put back together. They cost about $60 new, but are now around $10-20 around the internet because there are newer models out there. They do not get as hot as some of our other larger laminating machines, but they also have not died on us yet. Once they are really hot and ready to go, they take about two passes on a 10m pouch, and 1-2 on a 7m pouch to laminate well.		These are little powerhorses we bought in our first year.

			*'''BADGES ARE HOT''' when they come out of the machines. Be careful not to hurt yourself. The burns have never been serious, but they ''hurt'' for a few moments so just be careful.

			A laminating sleeve is a little folded over piece of shiny card stock. It protects the machine from glue and ensures that the machine parts aren't touching the lamination materials directly. Some machines need them, some machines do not.

			Here's the basics of how to tell if you need a sleeve:
			*Large machines – sleeves
			*Small machines (GBC HeatSeal H110) – NO sleeves
