Scotch Thermal Laminating Pouches, 200 Count, Clear, 3 mil., Ideal Office or School Supplies, Fits Letter Sized Paper (8.9 in. × 11.4 in.)

Work great! worth the price! I can't say they work much better that the amazon basic brand, but if you watch for a sale these will be cheaper than amazons brand. I am still using the sheets 2 years later (I haven't gone through all the ones I bought yet) and they work perfect. They are also still holding up great! all the reference sheets I have (even the ones i hole punched and put in a binder) are in good shape.laminating ability - greatadhesion - greatwrinkle resistant - great!***Tip if you need to keep something small from moving as you laminate it put a tiny streak of glue (glue stick is best) on the back of the paper, then close the laminating pocket. As long as the glue isn't in a clump you will never know it was there. also if you use the clear glue instead of purple you cant tell at all. I also don't wait for the glue stick to dry before sending it through and haven't had an issue!

There are a number of things that I would prefer in a laminator, such as being able to feed sheets through like a printer tray does so that it can reheat itself if necessary between feeds. An ability to handle larger lamination pouches, or even just a continuous laminator. Heck even this specific design could have a deeper tray woth a lower angle, or a better way of placing laminated items afterheating.All that said this was an absolute blast and I hate myself for all the years I wish I had a laminator instead of just purchasing one, and this laminator is really easy to use with awesome results so it's making this a wonderful experience

I have purchased these laminating pouches for years and always come back to the same brand of product . I al a teacher and laminate both at home and at school. I have never had an issue with the quality of the product or the durability . In fact I think this product surpasses the laminating we have in our teacher workroom . Product is easy to see after lamination is complete and runs well through my two different personal lamination machines . Great value for the money, and parents are always happy to purchase off of my teacher wishlists when listed .

6 years of frequent use, including at times very heavy use for office and homeschooling classroom use it performed wonderfully. Handles 3mm and 5mm thickness. Clarity has never been an issue. Typically, very smooth and not wrinkly. This morning 6 years after first use it is no longer heating enough to turn on the ready light. Happily ordering a new one.

It’s very easy to use, and works great! I was using it to cover and protect my painted watercolor bookmarks.

I bought this laminator for curriculum prep for our special needs class at church. It works great! Heats up quickly, seals well. I have used it weekly for the last several months and have had no problems with it at all.

Easy to use and cost effective.

As a crafter, I often need to laminate my projects for durability and a professional finish. I purchased this machine in August 2023, and I've been using it regularly ever since.The laminator arrived well-packaged and in perfect condition. Its clean white and blue design fits nicely into my craft space without being bulky, which is a plus for storage.The warm-up time is advertised as five minutes, and from my experience, that is quite accurate—it heats up relatively quickly. It accommodates standard 8.5 x 11-inch paper, which is ideal for most of my projects. The two rollers ensure a smooth lamination process. I’ve used it for everything from laminating project instructions to creating durable tags and labels, and I have not experienced any jams.I appreciate having two different heat settings, as they provide flexibility for the thickness of the laminating pouches. The results have consistently been clear, bubble-free lamination that adheres well to the surfaces.So far, the laminator appears to be durable. I have used it quite a bit over the past couple of years, and it has held up well. The housing feels sturdy, and the rollers are still functioning flawlessly. The auto shut-off feature after an hour is an excellent safety addition that gives me peace of mind.**Pros:*** Quick warm-up time* User-friendly and easy to operate* No jams experienced* Two heat settings for versatility* Auto shut-off feature for safety**Cons:*** Not very compact for portable use. While it's a decent size for home use, it's not ideal for traveling or taking to craft classes. A more compact design would be beneficial for portability.For the price, the Scotch Brand Pro Thermal Laminator offers excellent value. It is a reliable and efficient machine, perfect for both occasional and frequent crafters. It delivers great results, and even though I wish it were more portable, there isn't much else to complain about. I highly recommend this machine; it has made my crafting projects much easier and more professional-looking.
