I have been using a nice GBC laminator for a half-dozen years generally buying GBC laminating pouches. [...] I've carefully avoided the Fellows pouches because Fellows does not provide a carrier with their pouches. This time not finding the GBC pouches I carefully scanned for an acceptable pouch product and thought I had located one when I saw that the Staples brand pouch proudly proclaims on the front of the box that their hot laminate pouch works with all hot laminators. But Staples does not provide any carriers with their pouches.Calling the Staples support number on the pouch package I was told that if the laminating machine required a carrier then certainly I should use a carrier. My efforts to have them identify how to acquire carriers if they were not provided with the pouches resulted only in them telling me that I shoiuld contavt the manufacturer of the laminating machine.Unless you have one of the high-end Fellows machine that indeed do not require a carrier or you have an inventory of carriers you will need to look for a different brand of pouch. Using this pouch without a carrier in a machine that requires a carrier could result in the pouch being melted to the heated pressure rollers ensuring that it will never run again...
We use these for documents that are used over and over again such as phone lists conversion charts etc. Protects from liquid spills and can be written on with a dry erase marker and washed off!
I love to use this product in my classroom! Great for name tags photos and anything little hands touch. I can use things over and over again. Saves paper and money. I have even discovered that once something is covered I can write with dry erase markers wipe off and use again!
I love the quality of the laminating sheets. I can't understand why it did not come with a laminating pouch. If I didn't have one from a previous purchase I wouldn't have been able to use this product.
I am a kindergarten teacher and I love using this product to enhance my classroom. I use it for name tags flash cards magnets and many other things that we use continuously in the classroom.
As a preschool teacher I laminate many things for our classroom. The items that we laminate hold up very well even with daily use by the children. We use at least a box a year and have stayed with this brand for the past 8 years!
