Editing Best practices (section)

==Laminates==
Some committees have personalized the laminates.  Others have left them blank so that attendees can personalize them themselves.  Whether or not your committee does this is a personal decision, but issuing blank laminates makes the check-in and laminate transfer processes a simple matter.


Laminates can be put in plastic sleeves and run through a special laminating machine individually, or they can be put en masse through a laminator that spits them out in a flimsy sheet, requiring much cutting after the fact.  The individual sleeve method tends to yield a better laminate.


Laminate sleeves come in different thicknesses.  7 or 10 mil are the most heavy-duty.


The C15 committee purchased 10mil laminating sleeves from a So Cal company, but they do mail order, and their prices are very good.  [http://www.laminationdepot.com/ Lamination Depot]
