The ways to laminate without laminator machine
There are so many ways of paper lamination without a laminator. You can use tape, iron, heat-press, pouches, etc for lamination.

But I’m here to guide you step-by-step, so stay with me if you want the best result for lamination without using a laminator.
Lamination using self-adhesive sheets or pouches
The ways to laminate without laminator machine
Well, you can buy self-adhesive sheets from any nearest stationery if you don’t have them right now. I’ll suggest buying sheets that have gridlines that guide you on where to place the paper.
Here’s what you have to do-
At first, carefully separate the sheets from their backing. Then place your paper in the middle of the sheet, or inside the gridlines.
Now, if you are satisfied with the alignment of the paper, take another one and place it carefully over the paper.
At last smoothly press with your hand or with any tool like your card, iron, or something else to prevent wrinkling or bubbles.
Yeap! you have laminated your documents without using a laminator.
Lamination using packing tape
The ways to laminate without laminator machine
I already told you a good way to laminate without a laminator but what if you don’t have self-adhesive sheets near you?
In this situation, you can use clear packing tape, which is available in almost all families as tapes are very useful.
But my friend this method of lamination is limited as packing tapes are not always as big as the size of an A4-size paper.
Still, you can laminate small labels, business cards, tags, etc.
Roll out some tape and carefully position your paper on the sticky side. Place on the middle and leave some inches around the side.
Then measure another tape the same size as your paper and cut it out. Now, place the sticky part over the previously placed paper.
Press this whole thing with your hand or any presser like iron or anything, this will remove bubbles. Cut the extra tapes around the paper with scissors.
That’s it, You’ve laminated your paper with clear packing tape.
