FAQs

What size documents can these pouches accommodate?

These are A4 size pouches, measuring 216x303mm, suitable for standard A4 documents.

What does '2x80 Micron' mean?

'2x80 Micron' indicates that each side of the pouch is 80 microns thick, resulting in a total thickness of 160 microns for the finished laminated item. This provides good rigidity and protection.

Do I need a special laminating machine for these pouches?

No, these pouches are compatible with most standard A4 laminating machines. Ensure your machine can handle 80-micron thickness.

Can I trim the edges after laminating?

Yes, once the document has cooled completely, you can carefully trim the excess pouch material around the edges. However, ensure you do not cut too close to the actual document to maintain the seal.

Are these pouches suitable for photos?

Yes, they are ideal for photos, providing protection against fingerprints, moisture, and fading, while enhancing their appearance.

How should I store the laminating pouches?

Store the pouches in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to prevent them from sticking together prematurely.

Can I laminate a document that is already folded?

It is best to laminate flat documents. Lamination of folded items may result in uneven sealing and potential damage to the pouch or document.

Troubleshooting

Pouches are not sealing properly.

Ensure your laminating machine is preheated to the correct temperature for 80-micron pouches. Check that the pouch is fed correctly and that there are no obstructions.

Bubbles or wrinkles appear in the laminate.

This can be caused by insufficient heat or the machine running too fast. Try increasing the temperature slightly or slowing down the feed rate. Ensure the document is laid flat within the pouch.

Laminator is jamming.

Ensure you are using the correct pouch thickness for your machine. Turn off and unplug the laminator. Gently try to remove the jammed pouch using a piece of cardstock. Clean the laminator rollers according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Edges of the pouch are not sealed.

Make sure the document is not too close to the edge of the pouch, leaving an adequate border for sealing. Re-run the pouch through the laminator, ensuring the leading edge is fed in correctly.
