I use these pouches to laminate business cards for our sales people to attach to their lap tops backpacks and luggage. The plastic straps make this a snap.
I use these pouches to make tags for everything! They are the perfect size for laminating business cards or a child's name card (like a business card for kids). Then just attach the loop provided through the hole that's pre-punched and hang it on a zipper pull or tote bag strap. My kids love having a personalized tag on their belongings and their teachers can easily find my child's bag too. It seems like there's always another child with the same lunchbox or backpack so this is an easy and fun fix. My husband is even happy with the tag I made for his golf bag...just don't tell him I told you! Yes a slightly thicker pouch could be more durable but at this price these are really pretty great! I've seen other tags that are thicker but peeling apart. I think those tags need a hotter laminator = $$$$! We've been using these pouches for about 4 years. So far I've never had a problem with my tags...with the exception of the one I accidently folded. My fault. Solution make a new tag. Change your look. Variety is the spice of life! :-)
Originally I just wanted luggage or briefcase tags but decided to buy the heat sealer and make my own. Now that I have it I will heat seal other things. It's simple and effective.
I appreciate the fact that these tags were available locally and that I didn't have to order them online. However I found the finished tag to be a bit thin and flimsy for its intended use. A heavier plastic would work better.
