I am an educator and I make most of the things that I use to help my children to learn. So laminaing helps me to be able to keep and use them for a long time. The Staples brand laminate has not failed me. Must use product.
The Staples laminating pouches do not come with a protective jacket. Prior to Staples packaged laminating pouches the package came with a pouch jacket. The pouch jacket is not available as an individual item from Staples
For the price you would think they would be a little heavier. Also it leaves bubbles here & there. I use them to seal signs & make magnets. I just wish they came in smaller packets because they are so expensive and 100 is too many but you have no other choice. So I would rate these as average & serves its purpose.
