You will need:

special film, which can be easily found on the Internet or in specialized stores;

a piece of fabric that will protect your film.

Now that we've sorted out the materials, let's move on to choosing the film. High-quality, correctly selected material will allow you to quickly laminate a document. The sizes of laminated film come in different sizes. It is better to buy the material in A4 format. The film should be thin, 70 microns, it will be cheaper and there will be no difference in quality. It looks like a small pocket connected to one of four sides (vertically or horizontally). The inside of the material is treated with an adhesive base. During heating, the base layer softens and connects the sides. If your document is smaller than a landscape sheet, cut the film according to the size of the documents, leaving a small allowance on all sides.

Buy self-adhesive lamination film. Such films are sold in sets of 20–100 pieces, and are quite inexpensive. It is recommended to buy films with a grid on the back side - it will help to correctly position the sheet of paper.

Self-adhesive film is a sheet of polypropylene coated with glue on one side. Such films are intended for manual lamination, which is done as follows:

Separate the top of the film from the backing by prying it up with your fingernail. Do not touch the adhesive side of the film to avoid leaving fingerprints.
Glue the top of the sheet onto the adhesive surface of the film. Be careful, glue the sheet so that at the end of the procedure its entire surface is on the film.
Gradually peel the film from the backing while sticking it onto the sheet, constantly aligning the film using a ruler (or credit card).
In the same way, stick the second film on the back side of the sheet.
Trim off any excess film around the edges. Done, the sheet is laminated!

Of course, you can make everything simpler - completely peel off the film from the backing and immediately stick it to the sheet, smoothing it with your hand. But then you risk getting air bubbles between the film and paper, which will have to be pierced with a needle, and this can worsen the appearance of the sheet.
