I had originally posted this under 'hobbies' I think it should be in the 'crafts' section. Also, I've found a 3M adhesive/laminating cartridge, but what I need is just the adhesive cartridge only. Hope someone can help me out with this. Please read below, Thx so much!

Do you know of any companies, besides Xyron, that carry refill cartridges like theirs? I've been Googling today and I am having trouble finding an affordable solution. I would not mind in the least finding an 'off-brand' of adhesive cartridge for my Xyron 850, which unfortunately has gone by the wayside due to the 'new and improved' models by this company. I'm very upset that my local craft store has quit carrying their cartridges, so I'm in search of an affordable on-line (discounted) ordering option. I would love to find a 'just-as-good-as' cartridge made by less-expensive company. Thank you for attention in this matter. Kat

Is the following search the kind that you have already tried?

Dear Clough,

Thank you so much for the information. Yes, I did Google as you had written. However, when I was googling the other day, I did not see one of the websites until today. It was listed as, stickermaker.com. That was a helpful site. But I would love to find an off-brand that makes the cartridges if at all possible. I guess I'm hoping they will be a bit more wallet-friendly. Again, thank you for the info, I certainly appreciate you taking the time to answer. Kat
