Frosty, not clear
on April 12, 2026
Posted by: Donald Miller
These are very frosty/foggy, not clear. Think gift tape. Not good if you're trying to preserve something where detail/clarity is important. Thank goodness I tested on something unimportant first.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to get these! I have a few certificates I've been eager to laminate along with some of my children's artwork. The concept is fantastic but I would have appreciated some instructions on how to use them. Unfortunately the box provides no explanation at all leaving me unsure if I executed it correctly. What I managed to do seemed straightforward and effective. While the box claims to be anti-glare I don't find that description entirely accurate though it doesn't bother me much. What I liked most about these is that they are at home practical idea; I just wish there were instructions to ensure I did everything correctly.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Staples Self-Adhesive Laminating Sheets were very easy to use and the size is perfect for laminating a regular size (8.5" x 11") sheet of paper but would require two sheets for front and back. Only one sheet would be needed for smaller projects. It is really helpful that a tab across the bottom of the laminating sheet is provided to easily peel the backing off. I did not notice any instructors or best practice tips to use the laminating sheets in the package so I had a few air bubbles in the first project I laminated in. With the next projects I laminated I was sure to not peel the backing all the way off while I was placing my 5x7 card (cardstock) on the laminating sheet. This allowed me to reposition my card and get the placement just right. Once it was where I liked it I pulled the remaining backing off and was able to seal it by folding the laminating sheet in half over the back side of the card and pressed the edges together to create a laminated seal. I was able to trim off some of the excess with regular scissors to have a clean laminated look all from the comfort of my own home! With a little bit of practice it was easy to use this product and preserve the "5x7" cards that I had. I could also envision using this product to preserve pictures/photos in a scrapbook or recipe cards to ensure they don't get damaged if something spills.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These self-adhesive laminating sheets were incredibly easy to use and worked better than I expected. No laminator needed—just peel and stick. The sheets adhered smoothly with no bubbles or creases and the finish was clear and professional-looking. I used them for documents and a few craft projects and everything came out looking neat and protected. Great product for quick mess-free laminating at home!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to give these self adhesive sheet protectors a try as I had some important documents that needed protecting. Luckily I did a couple of test runs with some less important paper sheets and certificates. First thing I will say is that there were no instructions inside or on the outside of the box. I decided to give it a go anyway as it seemed simple enough. The first thing I noticed was that the sheets were not very clear but almost translucent. The second was that they were very sticky. This could be a positive thing unless you make a mistake. I did in fact make a mistake and there were creases and bubbles across the page. I attempted to remove the adhesive so that I could try again and when I pulled the adhesive protecter off some of the certificate came with it. It was quite disappointing. Maybe with some practice trial and error these could be a good product. I wouldn’t personally try them again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Self laminating sheets were very easy to use peeling and sticking with clear visibility. Used for a Christmas ornament ball filled with miniature books craft project.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m really enjoying these laminated adhesive paper sheets! They’re easy to use durable and stick well without peeling. Great for labeling crafts and even kids’ activities—like making reusable sticker boards or dry-erase sheets. A fun and practical product!
