Scotch Thermal Laminating Pouches, 5 Mil Thick for Extra Protection, 2.32 x 3.70-Inches, Business Card Size, 100-Pack (TP5851-100)

My American Legion uses these to laminate membership cards. Works as advertised and is significantly less expensive than buying the equivalent at a box store. 2/11/17 Reordered these pouches. My prior review stands. A good buy and they work just fine

This item has always been a great problems. I have never had a problem with Scotch thermal laminating cards. I will be ordering more!

Good product. Easy to use.

Wrong item

Great

These business card size lamination pouches work great. Among other things, I use them to laminate my familys auto insurance and health insurance ID cards, which come on a flimsy uncoated paper stock that wears down and becomes unreadable during the course of the year. Seriously, with what we pay in health insurance premiums, they couldnt give us better ID cards? But, I digress. My only wish is that these pouches were just a little smaller all around so the finished product was easier to fit in a standard wallet credit card slot. Instead, I have to trim off any excess border on the cards and offset them in the pouches before placing them in the laminater. Once laminated, I trim them with my paper cutter to the standard credit card size, being careful to ensure that theres still enough of an edge around the cards so the lamination seal isnt compromised. Then I do my best to round the sharp corners, otherwise they will catch on or poke into things and break, which would also compromise the seal over time. I havent found any brand that offers smaller lamination pouches, so I guess Im stuck with this small yearly hassle for now. Definitely a first world problem, I know. But whenever a manufacturer comes up with a smaller lamination pouch, they will have my business!

THEY WORK

Good size for small items

This item was just what I needed to laminate business cards and other cards of the same size. It, and the business card size folders will allow me to laminate my cards and those of my friends. No more smudges. These cards will last forever.

Im so glad that I found these! As a nurse educator, I create quick reference cards for my staff to place on their badge reels. This product saved me time because I didnt have to cut each card out individually. So far, theyve held up to being wiped down with hospital grade sanitizing wipes. Because they are 5 mil, they are also pretty sturdy compared to when I have used 3 mil laminating sheets. Even though I used 65lb cardstock, it still sealed around the edges perfectly. I will definitely order again!!!
