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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
