FellowesThermal Laminating Pouches, ImageLast, Jam Free Letter Size, 3 Mil, 200 Pack (5244101)

Perfect! Easy to use and I can't think of anything to 8mprove upon!

I bought these on sale for $24.08. I only use them for printing and laminating things around the house (recipes, insurance cards, etc) but these were only a couple dollars more than the ones without UV protection at the time, so I figured "why not?"The good:- They're noticeably thicker than the ones I previously used.- Higher quality than ones I've previously used.- The value is good, if they're on sale around what I bought them for. I definitely wouldn't pay full price for them. (Which full price is listed as $69.99 but Amazon usually has them for around $27.50. I personally bought them at $24.08) Because of this, I gave it 4 stars because they're not always the price I paid. Therefore not always a "good value"I have a few complaints:- The packaging was horrible. It came in busted and ripped open. It didn't damage any of the laminating sheets, thankfully. But I was unable to store them inside of the box because after I slid them out to use, they wouldn't go back in due to the damaged box.- A few (3-4) sheets wrinkled while I was trying to laminate, which is wasteful. And I never had that happen on the last sheets I used.A big complaint that I'm not 100% sure is related to the product or not:- After using about 25-30 of these sheets, my laminator stopped working like it's supposed to.My machine started going extremely slow and "sticking." At first, I thought I used it too long and it was overheating, so I let it cool down and turned it off. I turned it back on a few days later to use again, and it was still happening. (This originally happened a little over a month ago) I just turned on my laminator a few days ago and the issue persists.I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if the laminating sheets caused it. I use my laminator lightly, (only a few times a year) I always make sure to give it sufficient time to cool down before turning off, I use the correct setting (3 MIL, 5 MIL, etc) so it couldn't be due to my mistreatment of the machine.Because of this, I have to give the overall rating a 2 star. Potentially ruining a laminator is a pretty big risk... Unless I have some sure confirmation that it was my laminator that got old and quit working due to other unrelated reasons.... I would not buy these again.I'm hoping to just finish using the pack on my current laminator (like I said, it still works, but it's extremely slow and "sticky" now) because if I get a new one, I will not use these sheets in it.

Great price for how many pouches you get

These are easy to use and are great for my letter size school posters and game pieces.

I laminate a lot! I really like this and it's a good deal.

Quality

:)

I received this order in a brown box with a single Fellowes page on top but the lamination pouches do not have the Fellows watermark on them like all of my other orders before. I was not going to write a review because they feel like the same consistency, and I usually just laminate things for my classroom. However, we are having a graduation party for my nephew this Saturday, and I laminated banners for it. The lamination is definitely cheap because the banner pieces are curved (which looks terrible). Not only did I waste the lamination, I wasted my computer ink. I now have to reprint the banner and wait for new lamination to arrive tomorrow. This time I did not go with Fellows, I am going to give Scotch a try.

I've Been Laminating For Twenty years With The Same Laminating Machine And I Find The Fellowes Are Easy To Use And Never Crease And Price Is Quite Reasonable.When I First Started 20 Years Ago When You Bought Laminating Pouches It Included 1 Carrier. I've Noticed The Price Now For One Carrier Is Quite High

Better to buy this amount than lowere amount which can make it more expensive.

Bad quality.

Get a box and item broken twice. The plastic was old and yellow.
