Quick Scoop

You can usually get something laminated at office supply stores like Staples and Office Depot, and many of them offer in-store lamination services. Office Depot says it can laminate in store, and Staples has a dedicated lamination service page.

Other common places include FedEx/print shops, copy centers, and sometimes local libraries or schools with public-use services. Community recommendations also mention UPS Store, Walmart, and local copy shops as options.

Good places to check

  • Staples.
  • Office Depot.
  • FedEx Office or other print-and-copy shops.
  • UPS Store.
  • Local libraries, colleges, or school resource centers.

What to bring

  • The item you want laminated.
  • Ask whether they handle standard paper size, posters, or custom sizes.
  • Check whether they do same-day service, since some stores offer it. Office Depot notes same-day service for full-service solutions when ordered before 2 p.m.

One practical tip

If you only need to laminate a few small items, buying a small home laminator can be cheaper over time than paying per sheet at a store.
