We use this product to put out temporary notices to our condominium community in common areas. It stands up well to the elements as most notices are placed outdoors. I also make "standing notices" that are used for holidays etc. and I am able to file these for use the following year and they hold up very well. The price is relatively inexpensive as opposed to having signs always made up just for a short period of time. I find it cost effective to order the 100 pack and I don't have to check as often to see if the supply is low.
The leading edge is cloudy not clear and random air pockets appear throughout. Even with 20 lb paper there is a sizable edge (1/16 or more) around the paper where the two sides do not bond. Evidently they no longer requires the paper sleeve (none supplied & none mentioned in instruction) which is good. Gotta say you get what you paid for. This is not as good as the other name brand. Now I'm stuck with a big box.
Use this product for laminating business handouts and educational flyers for out customers. Have used product for 6 years and will continue to do so. Prefer Staples brand over others that I have tried- price and reliability of product can't be beat. Would recommend product to everyone.
