Fellowes Thermal Laminating Pouches, ImageLast, Jam Free, Letter Size, 3 Mil, 150 Pack (5200509), Clear

I am using the sheets to laminate my 5 childrens awards, newspaper stories, certificates, and ancestors paperwork for the Geneology books that I am assembling for each of our children.

These were exactly as I expected. They work perfectly and were a very good price. I would buy these again.

works well

Good value for quantity

The Fellowes brand was a little better than the Staples brand in that the there were little waves in the Staples brand after lamination that were not present in the Fellowes laminations. These are the only two brands of pouches I have tried. I was using the Fellowes Saturn 125 laminator.

I 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?

Excellent - easy to use - nice finished product!

I bought the fellows laminator, so I bought there pouches also......same same, work just fine and the price seemd fair.

Compared to 3Ms 3 mil laminating pouches, the Fellowes pouches feel stiffer. I actually prefer the 3M because I expect 3 mil to give me a bit of flexibility. Others who have tested both prefer the Fellowes. Obviously this is a matter of personal preference. The Fellowes pouches did do a good job sealing on a single pass through a budget laminator.

Great quality and awesome deal
