FAQs
What is the exact size of the A4+ pouch?
The pouches measure 228mm x 303mm, providing a slightly larger area than standard A4.
Can I use these pouches with any laminator?
These pouches are usable with all standard A4 pouch laminators that have a lamination width of at least 230mm. Always check your laminator's specifications.
What does '125 Micron' mean?
Micron refers to the thickness of the plastic film. 125 micron (per side, so 250 total) offers a good balance of durability and flexibility for frequently used documents.
Are the punched holes standard?
Yes, they feature universal punching formats compatible with common ring binders and binding systems, including European A4 2/4 Ring, US 3 Ring, and EU A5 3 Ring.
How do I ensure a good seal?
Ensure the laminator is at the correct temperature for the pouch thickness and feed the pouch with the sealed edge entering the machine first. Avoid creasing the pouch before lamination.
Can these pouches be used for archiving?
Yes, their durable nature and pre-punched filing edge make them ideal for archiving documents that need to be stored in ring binders.
What is the difference between gloss and matt finishes?
The gloss finish provides a high-shine, vibrant appearance enhancing colours, while a matt finish reduces glare and offers a more subdued look.
Troubleshooting
Laminator is not feeding the pouch correctly.
Ensure the laminator is fully warmed up. Check that the pouch is inserted straight and not at an angle. Verify your laminator's maximum width capacity meets the pouch requirements.
Bubbles or white spots appear in the lamination.
This can indicate the laminator is not hot enough. Try increasing the temperature setting if your machine allows, or consider using a lower micron pouch if the issue persists. Ensure the pouch is completely dry before insertion.
The lamination is cloudy or has streaks.
Clean the laminator's rollers according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure you are using compatible pouches designed for your laminator type.
Pouch is not sealing properly at the edges.
Ensure the sealing edge enters the laminator first and that there are no creases or obstructions in the sealing area. Check that the laminator's temperature is adequate for the pouch thickness.

Setup & Use:
Insert your document into the pouch, ensuring it is centered and there is sufficient margin on all sides for sealing.

Allow the laminated document to cool completely on a flat surface before handling or filing.
Care:
To clean the laminated surface, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
Store laminated documents flat to prevent bending or creasing, especially if using thinner micron pouches.
