[Blindtlk] A source for adhesive laminating sheets?

[Heather Field]

Hello Judy,
You can buy the product called Embossables. It is available from American 
Thermoform and you can order online or by phone.
Telephone: (800) 331-3676
Extension: 101
They have various bundles available. Those who use a lot can buy sheets by 
the box. American Printing House also sells sheets and they also sell sheets 
of braillable label. From what they tell me, their source for what they sell 
is American Thermoform. I believe APH is more expensive than American 
Thermoform. You can buy the sheets as fan-fold, tractor-feed for use with an 
embosser, or you can buy, more expensive, separate sheets. I personally buy 
the fan-fold and tear it apart before I use it in my braille writer.

However, there is a mystery which I've not been able to sort out. It appears 
that the adhesive sheets from APH are more transparent than those I've 
bought from American Thermoform. While everyone in my circle of friends to 
whom I have shown samples agrees that this is the case, the APH staff say 
they cannot explain why this should be since their supplier is American 
Thermoform.

Hope you find what you want.
Best,
Heather

Greetings:

Does anyone on the list have a good resource for plastic self-adhesive 
laminating sheets?  The ones I used to buy do not seem to be available.  I 
have purchased through Ebay and Amazon, but the sheets I find now have more 
of a contact paper-like feel, and do not hold the dots.  The laminate I used 
to get is glossy, stiff, and does not have that rubbery-type feel, and holds 
the dots much better.

The only kind I can seem to find now is too limber, plus the back does not 
easily peel, making it difficult to use with delicate and small jobs.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
