We use these for protecting instruction sheets on the shop floor. They list them as "Semi-Clear" which would make you think that they would be cloudy to read through they are not. The bit of texture they have helps cut down on glare making them actually easier to read than the clear glossy ones.
Being they are the Light Weight Economy sheet protectors I was expecting flimsy which is okay for a 7th grader just storing school work in a binder...but they are high quality thick excellent sheet protectors.
