FAQs

What is the total thickness of these pouches?

Each pouch is 250 microns thick per side, resulting in a total thickness of 500 microns when sealed.

Are these pouches suitable for all laminating machines?

No, they are specifically for machines that can handle a 500-micron total pouch thickness. Always check your laminator's specifications.

Can I use these for photos?

Yes, they are excellent for protecting photos, providing a rigid and durable finish.

How do I store unused pouches?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain their adhesive quality.

Are the laminated documents completely waterproof?

Yes, the sealed edges create a waterproof barrier, protecting the document inside from moisture and spills.

What is the size of these pouches?

These pouches are designed for A4 sized documents.

What does 'heavy duty' mean in this context?

'Heavy duty' refers to the 2x250 micron thickness, which offers greater rigidity and protection compared to standard or thin laminating pouches.

Troubleshooting

Bubbles or wrinkles appear after lamination.

Ensure the laminator is fully heated to the correct temperature for the pouch thickness. Make sure the document is placed flat and centered within the pouch, and feed it smoothly into the machine.

Pouch jams in the laminator.

Turn off the laminator immediately. Carefully try to ease the pouch out using the reverse function if available, or by gently pulling. Check your machine's manual for specific jam-clearing procedures. Ensure you are using the correct pouch thickness for your machine.

Uneven lamination or poor adhesion.

This can indicate the machine is not hot enough. Allow more warm-up time or check if the machine can handle the 500-micron thickness. Ensure the document surface is clean and dry.

Document edges are not sealed.

Ensure there is a sufficient margin around the document within the pouch for proper sealing. Check that the laminator is running at the correct speed and temperature.
