> 24 hourI did a side-by-side comparison of these pouches against some Scotch 3mil pouches on both Scotch and Fellows branded laminating machines. These Fellowes pouches did impress me as being a little better quality than the Scotch pouches and the end result was slightly thicker and a tiny bit more firm feeling to me. This was true for both of the machines I tested. Ive used heavy card stock in these pouches with no issues. The only time I see any waviness is in a half empty pouch. (The instructions do warn you not to run half empty pouches through the machine.) I experienced no color or visibility distortion. I also didnt have any issues with air bubbles as the 2 sides of each pouch are attracted to each other statically, which helps keep excess air out.

> 24 hourBought to use with a Crenova Sinchi laminator, I debated for about 5 seconds whether I should get the pack of 25 or the pack of 100. For the price difference, it makes no sense to buy small – unless you are borrowing a laminator for a one-off. I have already used 30+ pouches and have lots more photo salvaging to do. The quality is excellent. They are easy to use, the directional arrows ensure that no mistakes are made in feeding the sheets, and they come out straight and perfectly sealed. For my purposes, this thickness is perfect. Im laminating old and irreplaceable photos in different formats, favourite recipes, documents and even musical scales and scores to prop up on my keyboard stand. Im really pleased with the way old, somewhat faded photos are brought back to life with saturated colours and enhanced contrast.

> 24 hourThis is a very good product and cost more than the other famous brand Scotch 3M It works well as one would expect but additional cost is questionable. It works well and performs very well!

> 24 hourI really dont have presentation needs or whatnot for these pouches. To be perfectly honest, my Fellows Cosmic 125 kind of just stands compactly out of the way most of the time, to the point where Im thinking, Why do I have a laminator again? --- and then I need it, again. A few days ago I laminated a bread machine baking chart for a quick cheat sheet so I dont have to reference the manual again and again, also a proof of insurance for my wallet, since the paper printout from the website had gotten tattered. Yes, 3 mil is very thin, but it is also surprisingly sturdy over time. If the material I am laminating is flat, and if I am careful to use a carrier sheet when using one pouch for multiple small items, I see zero bubbling or other marring. (Just be sure to have enough margin around EACH item to cut up without separating the lamination layers. Idiotically, I kept making the same mistake early on of cutting *through* the laminated papers rather than trimming before laminating. Dont do that. You can get cheaper per-sheet, but Ive seen cheaper per-sheet in my kids classrooms in the past. Okay but often a little less bubble-free or a little more prone to separation. Oh, and a PSA: Remember to clean your rollers! - no brand of laminating sheets can compensate for dirty rollers in a laminator, and how hard is it to run through a cleaning sheet?

> 24 hourAs a homeschooling mom, my laminator is used on a regular basis. I tested these Fellowes pouches next to 2 others I still had on my shelf - Scotchs (
