Although the sheet has an image on it, it is removed when the item is laminated. There are no images or marks on any of the papers I've laminated, and I always print on both sides. I hope this has been of assistance.
PET is the material type, according to the Fellowes website.

Fellowes apparently felt compelled to advertise in a paid article. The whole sheet is covered in their gray logo. Yes, it disappears when you laminate it, but the plastic retains a gray tint. Maybe some people don't mind if it's not clear, but I make crafts to sell, so it was important to me. I returned 49 sheets because I didn't need them and was charged a restocking fee. They are not something I would recommend.
This is the second time I've bought 5 mil laminating pouches from this company. The Apache 5 mil pouches were my first purchase. If I hadn't first tried a different brand (especially one with a higher price tag), I wouldn't have known what to expect. Maybe I wouldn't be as surprised by the difference in quality if there was one that was fantastic. I laminate items once a week for school purposes (flashcards for spelling words, crafts for my kids, and so on). The first thing I dislike about Fellowes pouches is that they prominently display their brand name. So the Fellowes brand name can be read when tilted at a certain angle on the majority of the things I've laminated. The Apache pouches were crystal clear and didn't leave any writing on the laminated items. True, it's faint and only visible when held up to the light, but I still don't want to see their logo on the items I laminate. The second major issue is that bending the laminated item causes the lamination to come off. My children, for example, enjoy coloring people and animals that they then cut out and laminate to make puppets of some sort, which we bend in a circle and staple the ends together to make stand-up figures that they can play with. We've never had a problem with the Apache brand, but every time we bend the image with Fellowes, the lamination pulls away from the paper. I purchased the Fellowes brand because their 150-pack seemed like a good deal, but I now realize that, given the poor quality, it is yet another case of "you get what you pay for. ".
They are, however, very straightforward and simple to operate. As a result, whether or not this is the right product for you is dependent on your needs. Would these pouches be adequate if I were preparing a presentation/handouts for my peers to see and handle? Maybe. Would these be suitable for displaying photographs in a classroom setting? Without a doubt. Overall, these are great for everyday use, but if you want to impress, you might want something a little thicker.
They're being used. Color images have remained sharp and clear throughout the process. They can be used to post information in a garden. Before you seal them, you can cut them. They go through the laminator without a hitch as long as the sides/ends are aligned, and I've had no problems with the cut sections. The 5m was purchased by me. It's a little thick, but it's just what I needed. When I run out, I'll buy some more.
We bought these to laminate handout materials, and they're great, not to mention cheap!.
I've had a farmstand for a few years and needed a laminate that could withstand moisture and the sun. This is a fantastic solution. The 5 mil thickness is ideal, and it works well with my Fellowes laminator.
These 5 mil pouches were purchased to be used in a Fellowes laminator. I keep a couple of books on the "in" and "out" sides of the laminator to keep the pouches level as they pass through, which makes it very easy to laminate multiple small items in a single pouch, as well as standard letter size documents. So far, there have been no issues, and I've laminated about 50 pouches.
It was a pleasure to work with. When I received the pouches, they were in good condition. br>Right out of the box, it performed admirably with the Fellowes Satern3i 95 Laminator. br>I placed it on the counter in the kitchen so that they could come out the back and lay flat for a few seconds. br>There were no bubbles in the finished product, and all edges were sealed.
