This 5 mil laminate is adequit to cover all the documents I have reduced in size. I carry several papers for my service dog. Shrinking the documents allows m to carry them in a small canvas bag. Laminating them insures they will survive a sometimes harsh environment. I recommend carrying your pets general up to date vacination records and proof of current rabies vacination. These documents will come in handy when going to the groomers. Laminating is also good for personal docs when you dont want to carry the originals. Just scan your documents and adjust the size on your scanner; usually about 40%.
The Staples Photo Size Thermal Laminating Pouches are easy to use and help make a good impession on marketing presentations to my networking groups. The laminating machine that I purchased at Staples is the first one I ever had and I like the ease of use and the professional look of the pouches when laminated.
Bought these to use for laminating Avery 3381 postacrd stock. Worked out very good with between 1/8 and 1/4 all around. Makes a nice thick coating too.
