but get crafty


A good laminator is a machine that can be
enjoyed and used by just about anyone, especially when said machine
comes with a mother-lode of great features. The machine we're talking
about is the Xyron Creative Station 900, a product that can laminate as
well as make stickers, apply adhesive to documents, and more. This is
really a top-notch machine. Here are five things that make this machine
so wonderful.
  1. The joys of cold lamination. The
    Creative Station 900 is, at first glance, just a laminator. This is a
    machine that can laminate items that are 8.5" wide (the standard width
    measurement for both letter- and legal-sized paper) or smaller, and do
    so without heat or electricity. The fact that you don't need heat to
    laminate with this machine makes this the perfect unit to use with kids
    because there isn't the risk of anyone getting hurt. Cold lamination
    also allows you to preserve heat-sensitive items. This machine has a
    lot going for it before we even talk about its other features.
  2. But that's not all.... This
    product can do much more than just preserve your documents. This is a
    machine that can switch functions as soon as you replace the cartridge.
    Depending on the cartridge you install, you can make stickers and
    labels (this can be majorly fun for kids), magnets, or apply adhesive
    to scrapbook pages, signs, photographs, and so on. Acid-free adhesive
    can be applied to one or both sides of your item, depending on your
    desired outcome. When you use this machine, the adhesive will be
    applied from edge to edge so it will produce very smooth results unlike
    what you would wind up with if you used, say, glue or rubber cement for
    your project. Also, you can use Xyron's Personal Paper Trimmer with
    this device. Just attach the trimmer to your machine and you'll
    instantly have an integrated cutter.
  3. It is not just good for paper. When
    people think of laminators, the first thing that probably comes to mind
    is paper. Well, you can certainly use paper when you create your next
    masterpiece with the Creative Station 900, but you're not limited to
    just that. You can use all sorts of different materials including
    photographs, ribbon, some fabric, dried flowers, and so on.
  4. It will appeal to a lot of people.
    Although this product's primary use is as a laminator, it is marketed
    as more of a crafting product. It is designed to appeal to stay-at-home
    moms, teachers, and people who are passionate about arts and crafts.
    However, this machine could also appeal to creative professionals and
    office workers because of the high-quality results it produces.
  5. It is affordable and comes with some nice extras. After
    reading about all of the features of this wonderful machine, you're
    probably thinking that you'd need to sell your first-born child to
    afford one. Not so fast, because this unit is actually very affordable:
    it's priced at $119.99. (Cartridges cost extra.) Also, this product
    comes with a one-year warranty, as well as a 20-foot long permanent
    adhesive cartridge and a booklet full of possible project ideas.
All
together, it's great that the Creative Station 900 makes it so easy to
not only laminate, but get crafty, as well. If you love to create, this
one machine you should definitely think about purchasing.
