Laminating machines can protect paper printouts such as photos, flash cards and other teaching materials from water and moisture. Therefore, these teaching materials can last for a long time. Currently, we have only one laminating machine, which has been in use for almost 10 years–way beyond its lifespan. The machine is faulty now. Because of that, it takes hours and hours to get hot and ready for laminating. For that reason, we need to buy new laminating machines now. The more laminating machines we have, the better it will be, because teachers and staff can then use one in each department.
