Map Laminating?

While living in Orlando, I was spoiled in having a teacher supply store nearby called Lakeshore Learning Store that offered self service lamination for super cheap to laminate my maps. Now i'm in Miami and am looking for a similar cost effective solution. Anyone in the area between Miami and Boca know of something like this?

The best part about laminating is using all my colored sharpies and erasing them with dry-erase markers :D also so none of my players spill junk on my map :rant:

I'm in Miami too. I use Staples, for both map printing and lamination. I find that they have fair prices... check it:

Which staples do you use? Nothing more frustrating than trying to get pricing from office store employee that doesn't know how to give a straight answer.

Back in Orlando, I was paying $0.20 per linear foot for laminating. I'd spend $10 and walk away with 4-5 maps laminated.
 

This doesn't help the Florida folks but it might be useful to others in the Chicagoland area.

1.5 mil (very flexible and easy to lay flat after being rolled up) and $1.50 a linear foot. It used to be a lot cheaper here, maybe half the current price(?), but they do good work.
 

I (Gamer Printshop) do laminating for $ .15 per linear inch, but I use 3 mil laminant on the back and 5 mil laminant on the front.

Except I'm in Illinois - however customers from Edmonton, Alberta and Cleveland, Ohio have sent me oodles of maps to laminate, so long distance might not be an issue for some gamers.

My link is in my sig - but you'd need to email me for a laminating job.

I prefer to use my freerpgmaps@gmail.com email address versus the one listed in my sig.
