Fellowes Thermal Laminating Pouches, ImageLast, Jam Free, Letter Size, 3 Mil, 100 Pack (52454)

Good Quality, Easy to use

My sister bought me a Fellows Laminator because she knows I'm the kind the person that would absolutely love it. The product came with 10 pouches included and I used them up the first night! (I like to make book marks and playing cards with card stock)The local stores have the same pouches but I would pay double (if not triple) for at least half the supply!I searched on Amazon (the Go-To site) and found these pouches. The number suited (I knew I was going to be busy) and the price was right. I think the only reason I haven't finished this current pack and bought another is because I need to use my printer ink wisely! (That stuff costs a ton!)The pouches fit perfectly in the Laminator, they go through smoothly, they cool in a reasonable amount of time, cutting is easy.I'll try to find these again when I need it and have more fun!

Very easy to use. Does a great job of laminating. Quality work

In helping a friend with a large lamination run, I used his Fellowes Cosmic 95 to laminate 900 letter sized sheets over two days. We knew that this model was not designed for such use. A Fellowes representative expressed considerable displeasure at such treatment when responding to a question that I submitted to the company. But the machine never missed a beat and is still in constant service, so they must be built pretty well. The man for whom I was doing the work is a professional printer and insisted that I use carrier envelopes. Fellowes maintains that a carrier is unnecessary and doesn't include them with their laminating pouches. So, I will purchase the pouches from Office Depot, who is still including a carrier envelope in each package of laminating pouches. My own machine has performed flawlessly, but I intend to use carriers every time. I suspect that the ability of this unit to greatly exceed it's design capacity is made possible by the use of carriers.

With a Fellowes laminator I have laminated several sizes of paper objects. When laminating papers smaller than 8 1/2 x 11 it is important to leave a sealed margin around the whole object when cutting otherwise the seal will not be waterproof. If the margin is kept I have found the laminated papers will stay unmarred by a driving rain storm. We make signs for our stand at a farmers' market so have plenty of water to contend with, shaken off of vegetables or on a rainy day. No problem with the Fellowes laminated paper signs. If you are under the gun to get laminations out quickly be sure to allow time for the laminator to warm up before you can make signs. Also, I make sure that I can "receive" the laminated pages after they flow through the laminator. That way they will be sure to "dry" flat. In other words I would suggest not attempting to use the laminator unattended.

I'm unsure if it was an issue with the laminator I used, but it created bubbles in the pouches. I laminated some more, and the bubbles appeared less frequently. I think it might have been issues with some of the pouches. Overall, they worked as intended.

I went out of my way to search for pouches that protect in the sun (UV Protection). I was excited to find this product which claims to do so, and hoped that it was the answer to our having to endlessly replace documents that are exposed to the sun, only to have them soon fade out. This is the only product I could find that claims UV Protection, but it turns out that the claimed protection is worthless. Sad face. Don't believe the company's marketing hype about "Imagelast UV protection".If these provide any UV protection, we certainly didn't see results. In the photo you can see a supposedly "UV protected" document on the left that has gotten sun exposure. The other is the same document we reprinted and relaminated to replace the one that got faded out. The first one completely washed out. Does this look like "UV Protection" to you?UV protection is something that is absolutely needed in laminating pouches, but don't expect any from this company's product, depite its claim.

We used to have a roll-based laminator which was great for longer signs but they don't make the rolls anymore so we switched to a pouch-based laminator and have not been disappointed. These things work great. My only complaint would be that for smaller projects where you only need a couple of little things lamintated, you've got to use the whole sheet and that creates a lot of waste. They make other sizes of pouch so I won't change the score for the product because what it is has worked for us fantastically so far. Bubbling has been kept to a minimum and there's been no edge skewing or separation when cutting or otherwise.

Works well

Muy buen precio y funcionan súper, solo que a la hora de comprar no especificaba que espesor tenía. 3 mm se me hace muy delgado.

I really like it, it’s very easy to use. Great value for the dollar .

Laminated my recipes and put them in a book. Worked great.
