Thinking it might work like the Minc foiler without having to buy that also.** A: It might work, but according to my experience , if you want to get a better foil stamping result, it would be better to buy Minc foiler. Foil stamping is affected by temperature, speeding, pressure..etc. The normal laminators are designed for the thermal laminating pouches, not for the stamping foils. Different material requires different temperature, pressure and other conditions. Besides, Minc foiler has 4 rollers inside, while Fellowes only has 2 rollers. And I also guess Minc foiler is designed specially for its own brand stamping foil. So, if you do not have a high requirement on the foil stamping effect, just want to get a cheaper model . You may try this fellowes laminator. Otherwise , i advise you to buy MInc. foil applicator **Q: Does this unit require the use of a carrier sheet for the thermal pouches?** A: No it does not. The tolerance of the roller positions seems rather precise (you set it to the thickness of the laminate you are using), so that a carrier sheet would add extra thickness and have to be adjusted for. They do ask you to run a cleaning sheet (provided) through after several uses to pick up any stray bits of glue that might have stuck to the rollers. It seems just like a regular piece of paper to me, but maybe there is something special about it. **Q: how long does it takes take to laminate a paper ?** A: The Saturn3i laminates at a speed of 12" per minute per the mfg. Thats relatively slow. We returned ours because it is so slow. **Q: Where do i find laminating sheets that are 12.5 wide, i find nothing but 8.9/9.0” wide ones. so i’m failing to see the purpose of the wider opening** A: Right here on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/WrapSure-Thermal-Laminating-Pouches-Sheets/dp/B01MQRMLGT/ ## Frequently Bought Together - Fellowes Saturn 3i 125 Thermal Laminator Machine for Home or Office with Pouch Starter Kit, 12.5 inch, Fast Warm-Up, Jam-Free Design (5736601) - 5MIL Thermal Laminating Pouches (150 Count) | Letter, Photo, Card, Notecard, ID Badge and Business Card Sizes | Dry-Erase Friendly Sheets, Compatible with Laminators | Crystal Clear Laminated Finish - Fellowes Thermal Laminating Pouches/Sheets, Letter Size 9 x 11.5-Inches, 3 mil, 100 Pack (5743301) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/12739802-fellowes-saturn-125-thermal-laminator-machine-12-5-fast-60](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/12739802-fellowes-saturn-125-thermal-laminator-machine-12-5-fast-60) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-25*
