So I went to staples and had them laminate like 8 papers I HAVE to have laminated by tomorrow.... And I picked them up, came home, and they were literally my papers stuck between 2 plastic sheets. I can peel it easily and it is not sticking at all. Am I supposed to do something or did they mess up and forget something???? Please help!!!!
It sounds like they messed up. My guess is that the machine was not hot enough to allow the laminate sheeting to bond. Yes, you should call them and go back. Laminating IS two plastic sheets with a paper between. However, when the machine is very hot, the plastic softens and bonds. Did you trim the papers? You should always leave a narrow edge of plastic around the edges, perhaps a quarter inch. If you trim it exactly against the paper, there is nothing on the edge to seal and bond. If they did the trimming, then check the edging. If there is a quarter edge beyond the paper and it is separating, then take it back. That could be a machine not hot enough. Take your receipt.
