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

In the distant past, I worked in a commercial laminating business where we laminated thousands of menus, maps, posters, and paper documents every day. The 5-mil Fellowes ImageLast Laminating Pouches are a high quality product which worked perfectly with my Fellowes Personal Laminator. I prefer 5-mil pouches over the 3-mil pouches for durability since most of the items which I laminate are subjected to frequent handling. These pouches are crystal clear and resistant to scratches even when frequently handled. My laminated documents come out crystal clear, no bubbles, no wrinkles, and almost perfectly flat as long as they're allowed to cool on a flat surface for a minute or two. One of the more creative uses I've seen over the years is to laminate a blank sheet of copy paper and use the finished product with dry erase markers, for a temporary White Board. I'll probably end up laminating a few Yard Sale signs which I might be able to re-use a few times next Spring. My only complaint would be with the relatively flimsy retail packaging and the fact that a sturdier box should be used for 5-mil pouches. The pouches were delivered in a padded mailer which was likely dropped, rupturing the bottom of the box containing the pouches.

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.
