Seth,

For permanent graphics we still go to an external vendor to produce 
the graphics, mount them on Sintra, and laminate them with UV velvet 
Lexan.

But for quick, in-house signs and posters we use a ProSeal laminator 
with pouch boards. The pouch boards laminate and mount on foam board 
in one step. They come in sizes from 4" x 6" to 41" x 61" and in a 
variety of surfaces (I prefer the textured, matte surface). We get 
them from http://www.usi-laminate.com/.

Hope this helps...
