Xyron Two Sided Laminate Refill for ezLaminator, 5" x 18', Refill Cartridge (624674)

Okay. So never in my wildest dreams did I think I would EVER be writing a review for magnet laminating cartridges. I am a teacher who just switched grades this year to kindergarten. This meant I needed to re-print or print many things for the first time, including calendar pieces. My wall space is taken already and I have a HUGE whiteboard I never use - so I printed and laminated many pieces and put those obnoxious little magnet dots on them. I saw the Xyron cold press laminator and thought about how this could save me so much time and angst after school. Laminating is a job that, as a child, seemed so glamorous. It is THE WORST as an adult - I have to plug in the machine, wait for it to warm up and then wait for it to take the sheet through at a snail's pace. Xyron has saved me time. I got the magnetic cartridge thinking I'd use it every so often...but now that I've laminated my calendar pieces I want to put magnetic backing on EVERYTHING. It is worth EVERY PENNY. I just ordered three more - I never want to run out. I just wish they made the magnet refills longer for the price.

We used this for our wedding's save the dates. We had a photo shoot and used the pictures to design our own save the dates, had them printed at one of those big stores, and ran them through the Xyron with the magnetic backing. We ran two at a time, side by side, cutting only after 10 were run through (to save magnet) and it worked beautifully! Maybe 10% of the finished ones had issues, but the rest were perfect or nice enough to send out anyway. We had a ton of compliments about these save the dates, our family and friends surprised to hear that they were homemade. My now husband wanted to leave a small border around the pictures, but they look excellent when cut along the edge, and have held up perfectly. Make sure you're not pulling anything too hard or you'll throw off the alignment and ruin the roll and most of your magnets. Very easy to use and good quality.

The product is good. I am dissatisfied with the very unappealing scent that was spilled all over the actual box that contained the item. I had to wash my hands several times to get the awful scent off, even after using hand sanitizer and strong soap! Unacceptable! I would never ship an item like that!

Perfect for teaching! I will be buying lots more. The magnets are not the strongest but are perfect for attaching paper to metallic surfaces. I made all of my students log in badges and laminated them with this. They are still stuck to desks and easy to remember where they are.

I bought this to laminate pictures for Christmas to attach to refrigerators, etc. They were to be shared with family and friends. Unfortunately, I ruined several pictures and only had one which was usable. Quite a disappointment as I was excited about the concept. Now, I have a useless magnetic roll and only one successfully laminated picture. BTW, this was a replacement roll as the first was broken upon receipt. I would have given zero stars if possible based upon my experience.
