Xyron XRN510 Creative Station Multi-Use Crafting Machine with Permanent-Adhesive CartridgeXyron 5 inch Creative Station works right out of the box!View larger Easily change applications with drop in cartridges Simple, Effective, Versatile MachineThe Xyron 5 inch Creative Station is a compact, multi-function tool that is simple to use. Your unit will come loaded with non-toxic, acid-free, permanent adhesive. There's no assembly, no batteries or electricity required, and no warm-up time needed. You can begin using the machine right out of the box. Simply take your flat item — up to 5 inches wide — and place it in the feed tray. Turn the crank handle on the side of the machine, and your item will emerge through the back with an edge-to-edge layer of adhesive. Press down on the integrated cut bar to release the item. Give it a slight rub around the edges, remove and discard the top clear layer, and your item is now ready to stick where you want it!A Multitude of UsesThe Creative Station with the included adhesive cartridge gives you a clean, fast, and effective means of adhering items. This is an excellent tool for school projects, handmade crafts and cards, organizational projects, and adding a personal touch to home decor. It's just as easy to make magnets or laminate items using patented interchangeable cartridges. (Sold separately.) By quickly switching to the magnet cartridge, you can now create decorative items with a backing that will stick to metal surfaces. This option is perfect for refrigerator magnets or whiteboards in the classroom. Switch again to the double sided lamination cartridge and you can laminate your small flat items to preserve and protect them. The process of changing applications is as easy as sliding one cartridge out, and sliding the new one in. All cartridges can be safely stored for later use.About XyronXyron has been creating high quality adhesive and lamination products for crafters, teachers, and creative professionals since 1997.
