Pouch boards are one of our best-selling products in the laminating/mounting field. But what exactly is a pouch board? They are a convenient tool that essentially combines a mount board, a laminate pouch, and a mounting adhesive into one piece. These boards have a laminate sheet attached to one side, sealed to the short end of the board. Simply lift the laminate sheet to insert your print below, and then apply pressure to seal your print. Rolling the laminate out from the center to the edges will help eliminate any bubbles, while also mounting your print and laminating the top. Pouch mounting boards are a cost-effective solution that not only saves you money, but also a lot of time. Instead of adding adhesive to your boards (step one), then mounting your print to the adhesive (step 2), and then applying a laminate to the print (step 3), pouchboards get it all done in one run.
These particular pouch boards are made with foam core boards, which is the most popular (and affordable) center. They are sturdy 3/16" thick sheets with a smooth, clay coated surface that and surrounds a lightweight polystyrene center, offering a lightweight and rigid board. The adhesive on these boards is cold (also called pressure-sensitive), which means it is already tacky to the touch and you simply peel off the liner to apply your document. They are available in either black or white, and in sizes from small 8.5" x 11.5" through medium 24.5" x 36.5" boards. The laminate is attached to one short end of one side of the board, and has a matte finish that is soft, helping to reduce glare and offering an elegant finish.

Hi, my name is Mike Foster. I'm the integrated marketing manager for spiral, and I'm here with Jeff Stover from stover graphics, and I'm going to give him 60 seconds on a cell phone camera to tell you why the polar cub and the polar smart right here, could be the product for you. And I'm going to give them the clock right now, and it's go. We're really excited about the polar smart and polar cub laminators. They're entry level laminators designed to people's first laminators to let them get professional results quick and easy. Basically, they're compact, they're affordable, and they're easy to use. They feature a patent applied for media guide to use it. All you do is you basically put your print underneath the media guide, pull it through so that it's nice and smooth against the roller. Your hands are free, and to do whatever you have to do, in this case, we're using a peel and stick board. So we'll just remove the adhesive on the board, and then we'll roll down our print so that we'll adhere to the board. Here we're using a corrugated plastic. The polar boards also come in foam board gator board as well for indoor and outdoor display. You can see that in less than 60 seconds, we've mounted a 16 x 20 print professionally, and it's a way to help build your business and make more money on the life formatting. Awesome. Well, we like to have our customers making money. So, and we still have up, there we go 60 seconds. Correct. Thank you.

Polar Smart Laminator: Mounting onto Foamboard
Transcript:Today we're going to mount a print to an adhesive board using the Polar Smart Laminator. The first thing we will do is tack down our print by removing an inch of the liner to expose the adhesive on the leading edge. Here we're using straight edge to tear it, but you could fold it back as well. Next, we pull down the polar align edge to make a 90 degree corner with a laminator and position our board in the corner.

Today we're going to mount a print to an adhesive board using the Polar Smart Laminator. The first thing we will do is tack down our print by removing an inch of the liner to expose the adhesive on the leading edge. Here we're using straight edge to tear it, but you could fold it back as well. Next, we pull down the polar align edge to make a 90 degree corner with a laminator and position our board in the corner. Now we can place our print on top, and because the adhesive is only at the leading edge, we can move our print around until it is aligned. Then we'll tack it down with a swipe across the leading edge. Now we're ready to remove the rest of the liner. We do this by inserting the tacked print into the laminator and feed the print between the rolls and the media guide, and then close the guide. Now we can remove the rest of the liner without worrying about our print or board as they're held in place. Now that we remove the liner, all we have to do is roll down our print. You can see that the media guide holds our print in perfect position for professional mount. There you have it. We've mounted a print professionally in under two minutes.
