Protect posters, maps, charts, menus, signs, and oversized reference materials with a clean sealed finish.
Star MailHub Print & Business Center provides wide laminating for businesses, schools, restaurants, offices, events, training rooms, job sites, and organizations that need larger printed pieces to hold up to repeated handling.
Width is the key limit. Our laminator accepts material up to 25 inches wide, but a practical finished piece should usually be no wider than about 24 inches so the film has room to seal around the edges.
Oversized printed pieces that need protection, easier cleaning, or a longer useful life.

- Menus and price boards

The printed piece needs room around the edges for the laminate to close properly.
Maximum Machine Width
The laminator accepts material up to 25 inches wide.
Practical Finished Width
About 24 inches wide is a more realistic maximum when a sealed edge is required.
Length
Length is generally flexible. Width is the main production limit.
Smaller Materials
For letter, legal, 11 × 17, worksheets, cards, labels, and other smaller pieces, use our Document & Classroom Laminating service.
Start with a finished piece or send the file and have us handle both steps.

Originals require judgment.
Lamination is permanent and involves heat, pressure, and adhesive film. For one-of-a-kind artwork, photographs, certificates, fragile originals, or anything irreplaceable, we review the risk before proceeding.
In many cases, the safer choice is to laminate a high-quality copy rather than the original.
The right setup depends on whether the piece will be displayed, wiped down, mounted, or handled repeatedly.
Everyday Protection
For larger prints that need better resistance to fingerprints, light spills, humidity, and repeated use.
Wall or Counter Display
For posters, signs, menus, charts, and reference materials that need a cleaner finished appearance and more rigidity.
High-Touch Use
For pieces that need to be wiped, handled, moved, or reused regularly without wearing out quickly.
Send the file or bring the print, then confirm the size, use, and edge requirements.
Send the file
Upload the PDF or bring the finished print to the store.
Confirm the finished size
Tell us the document width, length, quantity, and whether trimming is needed.
Explain the use
Display, menu, training aid, job-site reference, wipeable surface, or repeated handling.
We review the piece
We check width, edge allowance, material, condition, finish, and production risk.
Laminate and pick up
We complete the project and notify you when the finished pieces are ready.
Wide laminating runs quickly, but setup, film use, printing, trimming, and workload still matter.
Standard Jobs
Straightforward single-piece and small-batch wide laminating projects may be completed quickly after review.
Minimums and Setup
Wide laminating may carry a minimum charge because each run requires material, setup, warm-up, and trimming.
Printing and Larger Batches
When we are also printing, trimming, sorting, or producing mixed sizes, the complete job is quoted with a realistic turnaround.
Common questions before bringing in or sending a larger piece.
How wide can you laminate?
The machine accepts material up to 25 inches wide. A finished piece up to about 24 inches wide is the safer practical limit when edge sealing is required.
Can the piece be longer than 25 inches?
Yes. Length is generally flexible. Width is the main limitation.
Does lamination protect both sides?
Yes. The film encloses both surfaces and seals around the edges when enough border is available.
Can you print the item first?
Yes. Send a print-ready file and specify the finished size, paper, quantity, and intended use.
Can you laminate artwork or photographs?
Sometimes. We review the material and whether the piece is replaceable. A high-quality copy is often safer than laminating the original.
What if my project is 12.5 inches wide or smaller?
For letter, legal, 11 × 17, worksheets, flash cards, menus, checklists, labels, and similar smaller pieces, use our Document & Classroom Laminating service.
