Fellowes Thermal Laminating Pouches, ImageLast, Jam Free, Letter Size, 5 Mil, 100 Pack

I often laminate phone rosters and cards for my office, items that are subject to a lot of wear and tear during regular use. These laminating sheets are perfect for heavy use, as the sheet is a bit thicker than average laminating plastic. The thickness of the plastic means you may have to run the item through the laminating machine twice to fully seal it, if the item you are covering happens to be thick itself. For those who not familiar with heat-sealed laminating sheets, these are not “sticky” sheets like contact paper, you must use heat to seal it! The size of these sheets is useful for laminating most documents, and can be easily trimmed for smaller pieces. If you have a larger laminating machine you could line up the edges of multiple sheets and cover a larger document, though I have not tried this myself since my machine only accepts letter-sized forms! Bonus: the sheets are UV-resistant. I wouldn’t laminate any historical documents or irreplaceable photos, so don’t use them for archival storage. The UV protection feature would be best suited for laminating something you have hanging in a window or using in an area that receives a lot of light, it will keep your documents from fading quickly.

The Fellowes Laminating Pouches are really a quality product. The sheets are a nice weight and work perfectly to laminate quick start guides, project handouts, recipes, homework and anything that you want to preserve. These are the letter size but they also come in legal sizes. They are available in 3 mil, 5 mil, and 7 mil. These are 5 mil, and I like them best for our purposes. They aren't too thick, the 7 mil are thicker, nor too thin, the 3 mil are a little thinner. They provide excellent document protection. Of course, a Fellowes Laminating Machine is necessary to seal the documents. I can't think of anything negative about these pouches, they provide excellent document protection without being too thick nor too thin.

The Fellowes Laminating Pouches are super easy to use. Fellowes Laminating Pouches - Letter, ImageLast, 5 mil, 100 pack are very easy to use. There is an open end that the document or picture you are laminating slides into smoothly. No dragging or snagging stickiness inside the pouch to ruin your project. The 5mil pouch is a good weight that is pliable, yet sturdy. The out come of the finished laminated product is a crystal clear view of the document or photo that is UV protected. So it will stay bright over time verses being unprotected. The Fellows logo disappears when the laminating is done correctly so no guessing if the heat worked. Suggest laminating product menus, signs and and weekly chore list. I use the pouches for laminating photos, flash cards for school, business cards, and documents I use often. The possibilities are endless. Fellows even has an idea center to help with your laminating projects. While I have a Fellows Laminator, the package reads that the laminating sheets are compatible with other laminators. Perfect size for Letter sized projects at 11-1/2" x 9".

I use the Fellowes Laminating Pouches with my Fellowes laminator. We homeschool and being able to laminate pictures and other items at home is awesome. It can get tedious going back and forth to the teacher store every other day. It is more cost effective to purchase the 100pk. The 5ml is a little thicker, more like what you would find with an ID card. This is perfect for school items that you are concerned will tear or get worn with continual use. The Fellowees products are all great. They have several thicknesses to choose from depending on your needs and uses. The end product is great. I am very impressed with the quality and price with this product. These laminating pouches have UV protection, so what ever you choose to laminate should last a long time without any discoloration. There is no end to what can be laminated as long as it fits through the laminator! The only thing I wasn't impressed with was the packaging. But, I think that has more to do with the postal service than Walmart. The packaging envelope was heavy duty and padded, but it was ripped open in several places and looked like it had been run over by a truck. Fortunately, even though the box and interior packaging was ripped, the actual pouches were not harmed.

I am a Spark Reviewer for Walmart and was given a free 100 count package of Fellowes Thermal Image Last Laminating 5 mil. thick letter size pouches for review. The pouches are for use with the Fellowes heat laminators. These pouches are a thick size and perfect for those important things you want to laminate and keep. The pouches themselves have UV protection which means that the things you laminate won’t fade if subjected to sunlight. Once you seal the pouch it is water resistant and can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. When you slide your project into the pouch, it goes right in, it doesn’t stick and the pouches do not have any stickiness to them until they are heated in the laminator. I chose to laminate one of my husband’s sports pictures. The 5 mil. pouch is quite thick and I had to run it through my Fellowes laminator twice to get the proper seal, but it went through with no wrinkles and sealed 100% around all four sides. The picture is a two sided photo with a lot of sports stats on the back. The photo he wanted laminated was older and he wanted it preserved. After running it through the laminator it came out sealed and looks shiny and new. It was perfectly clear on both sides and the writing is crystal clear. The 5 mil. thickness gives a more rigid finish and is great for those items you want to keep flat, or hang. These pouches are perfect for presentations, reports, photos, and things you want to hang in your home or office. They will definitely give a professional finished look to anything you have.
