I was excited to try this product. I own a Scotch Laminator, but sometimes I don't feel like getting it out to laminate one page. These are a great solution. They are easy to use, BUT you need to read the instructions all they way through before you start AND don't be in a hurry. I laminated 4 sheets of cardstock. 3 were pefect. On the one that wasn't, I got in a hurry and there were a lot of wrinkles. That was my fault. Make sure you use a flat edge to smooth wrinkles as you go (as stated in the instructions). I love these!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a teacher and do a lot of activities where students use manipulatives. These pouches protect my materials, so I can reuse the materials year after year. I highly recommend them!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this item to try and I am so glad! These are so easy and convenient to use and my papers looked crisp and clear!
So it did its job BUT half of the sheets are missing the top strip, and I cant seem to just peel the backing off so half the sheets are useless. But the ones that were made right worked great for making my sons worksheets... .I laminated both sides of the paper by useing 2 of the laminate sheets.
I had a horrible experience with these sheets are very difficult to use waste of money!!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am an educator and I have used this product for the past 15 years!! I work with non-verbal kidos and I make all of their curriculum. I laminate the activity and use velcro to pull off and on items pertaining to the activity. Now, I can not find this product anywhere!!!!!! So disappointed But Great Product!
Not an employee of Scotch and the instructions are clear enough. I needed to laminate cards put onto magnets and it works perfectly. Don't know what punch the under 3 stars are drinking. It says Single Sided on the package. Maybe they need to buy the full laminating pack. The instructions are simple, it's for a full sheet if that's what you need, top layer protection. Definitely buying stock loads of this product.
As many folks have already stated, the instructions are not clear at all. If I had to guess, they were originally written in Chinese and then poorly translated. Regardless, I eventually figured out what to do. It served its purpose, looks nice, and even works well with dry erase markers! Make sure you have a straight edge cutter (or careful scissor hand) to remove unwanted adhesive ends.
