On the 4" side, there is a "seam."
Yes, I laminate with an Amazon laminator, and it's a fantastic combination.
I'm not sure what I'm saying. I laminate them myself with my own laminator.
I use it all the time for papers that are 8 1/2 X 11 inches, and it works great when used with the right laminating machine!

Put an end to your search and buy this! This was the cheapest option I could find, and they seal just as well as the more expensive brands. I'd strongly suggest it!.
I then purchased the 3ml pouch and had no issues. br>I then purchased the 5ml pouch and had no issues at all. 3 ml was strong but not as stiff as the others. br>br>If an area along the inner paper was not completely transparent, I ran it through again after it cooled. Because I knew my finished product would be near water, I wanted the heat seal to be as close to the inner paper as possible. br>br>I should also mention that getting a tight seal sometimes necessitated running it through the machine several times, i. e. 3,4,5 times. br>Before running laminated paper through for a second heat pass, make sure it's completely cool. br>There has never been a problem with the Apache machine. Apache laminate pouches are available in three sizes: three, five, and ten milliliters.
My favorite feature is that I can have my students write on them with an expo marker and the marker wipes of SO EASY, just like whiteboards. I've tried a lot of other brands and they're all difficult to remove the expo from. When I run out of laminating sheets, I'll definitely be buying these again.
I bought these to laminate some 3x4 stickers (and cut off the excess). As usual, I'm blown away. br>br>It's worth noting that all of the other products were packaged in cardboard. This one was packaged in a 'bag. ' The 'bag', on the other hand, became unwelded at the seams, and the pouches became loose. I was able to find a small box in which to store them. I don't mind the bag over the cardboard, but I wish it had survived transportation. br>br>It does exactly what it says it will. My scotch laminator is compatible with this product.
These laminating pouches have let me down. I work in a school and do a lot of laminating! These 3 mil sheets are significantly thinner than other brands I've bought- I believe they are in fact 2 million. I had a hard time getting the sheets to seal, which resulted in bubbles and creases on my items. It was inconvenient that I had to run them through my machine several times to get a good seal. When I opened a few of the pouches, they ripped, rendering them useless for my documents. I'm not sure if I got a bad batch, but I wouldn't recommend this product.
I bought it in the hopes of finding a less expensive alternative to name-brand laminating pouches. It isn't the case. It's fine if you're laminating a piece of paper to keep it whole; however, if you're laminating something to cut out, it'll peel and separate as soon as you cut it. I'm laminating things for homeschooling a young child, and all I'm hoping for is that we'll be able to finish using them before they completely delaminate. I won't be purchasing anything else in the future.
It was my first time using such items, and I was worried that because the pouches were so inexpensive, they wouldn't be the best fit for my machine. That one took me by surprise! Every item I laminated turned out just as well as the last. I'm excited to try out the larger sizes after purchasing the 65-pack of 5mil 4x6 pouches. The final products were of a high standard. (Index cards, 4 x 6 inches) This item comes highly recommended by me, and I am confident that you will not be disappointed. Also, shipping was lightning fast!.
These were supposed to be 5 mil, but I compared them to GBC and Scotch to see which ones I should buy in bulk for a large product, and the 5 mil was only slightly better than the Scotch brand 3 mil in my opinion. However, the three people who assisted me in testing these pouches all agreed that the end result was the same as Scotch 3. So, to put it bluntly, they're no more durable than the 3 mil Scotch tape I'm used to. When I compare Tom Scotch 5 mil to these Apache 5 mil, there is a clear winner- Tom Scotch. Scotch has a thicker, more substantial feel to it, as well as being clearer. GBC appeared to be the clearest, but when it came to mil-to-millimeter thickness comparisons, it couldn't compete with either, and thus was defeated.
