If you want to use a laminating folder to protect your card, but don’t want to have the message side laminated (or if that is a problem where you are because of cancelling stamps), here is a trick:
-
Cut a sheet of baking paper the same size as your postcard (regular typing paper will probably also work, so long as it is not printed on). Lay it over the postcard on the message side when you put the card into the laminating folder/pouch.
-
Laminate.
-
Trim the lamination off on the three “non-hinge” sides of the lamination. You should be able to then fold the laminated baking-paper side out and trim that off as well.
Now your postcard will be laminated on the front, but the back side will be “virgin”
Disclaimer: I am not sure if this will work with “cold” laminators, I have only tried this method with hot.
