Can anyone advise a suitable laminating machine for topo maps?

Unless you have masses of maps, you're probably better off just paying
someone to do it. You can buy them prelaminated from various places,
including
Melbourne Map Centre
http://www.melbmap.com.au/cgi-bin/site/wrapper.pl?c1=Home

You could also get them done at Officeworks (they will do A0 laminating)
but you'd have to trim them.

To buy a lamiator of sufficient size would cost you a fair bit ($000s) I
imagine

cheers
Tom

I got some older maps laminated there at the same time I bought some new
ones. They charge for the lamination. You can find out the price
difference and decide how many maps you would need to have laminated to
break even. Then decide whether to buy one.
