MS Office Forum / Publisher / General MS Publisher Questions / March 2005how to laminate 10 business cards printed in publisher front and .
I have printed front and back (2 sheets) from Publisher using the Business Card template. They are set up to print 10 per page. When I go to laminate them (the entire sheets), I am unable to make 10 individual laminated cards because where you cut them down the laminate can't help. Any ideas on a work around?

What has laminating got to do with Publisher anyway?  SignatureFacon - the artificial bacon bits you get in Pizza Hut for sprinkling on salads. There are lamination pouches about the size of business cards. It probably is your only solution. You could try separating the cards and hope the heat will seal the space between.

SignatureDweebs-R-Us John Inzer return e-mail disabled Hi John, I use business card stock for lodge ID Cards and thus those who wish will have them laminated. It's best if you don't use the entire width and if you then use a trimmer to round the corners. > > Yes indeed.

Because I wanted my cards in colour and I don't have a colour laser printer. Therefore, my cards were printed on an inkjet printer. Inkjet ink can run/smear if it gets damp. Although I take care to keep them safe and dry, there is no guarantee that a potential customer would. They could then end up with a business card where my contact details could have become smeared and unreadable. If laminated, the ink is sealed in and this doesn't happen.

A shorter answer would have been "Because I'm a perfectionist" :-) SignaturePaul Use the reply by email facility in your newsreader to send email It sounds like you are either using a swellable polymer photo paper or some plain card stock. Those will run or smear when wet. If you use a micro or nano porous paper that problem is eliminated. Of course you would have to cut out the cards manually, but with a decent little trimmer that's no problem. The other advantage to printing cards on this kind of paper and trimming them yourself is that you can get a yield of twelve cards per sheet instead of 10. Just a suggestion you might want to try.

You have to laminate each card independently. It's the only way you are going to get a laminate border on each card. You may be satisfied with one of the sprays available to just seal the pores of the card stock. Might find the stuff at an office supply or art supply store.
