Most can yes, but its best to contact us if you are unsure if the particular type of paper/card is suitable.
If the thickness of the laminate and media is quite thick, the squared edge can be quite sharp and stiff. For this reason, we would suggest radius cornering on thicker finishes. For thinner finish, it really comes down to personal preference.
A sealed edge will completely cover the edges of the media, preventing water or other contaminants from ruining the paper or media. Flush edges are fine for purposes where this is not important, such as business cards or similar.
The laminate film tends to come in a variety of different finishes. What you choose is dependant on your requirements. Gloss enhances the colour and appeal of your media, so is ideal for presentation pieces. Matt finishes on the other hand are better for readability as they reduce glare, so ideal for menus, identity cards,
It all depends on your usage. The thinner film can still be folded if require, but if you want more durability you should definitely opt for one of the thicker laminate films
