Oregon Lamination Letter size 9 x 11.5-inch x 10 mil thick 2 sides thermal laminating pouches laminate as large as 8-3/4 x 11-1/4-inch sheets with high clarity after adhesive is heat activated. The clear glossy finish protects and enhances colors. These laminates are 10 mil thick on each flap for major durability, strength, rigidity and protection. ALERT: Many pouch laminators on the market can seal a maximum of only 5 mil pouches, so PLEASE make sure your laminator is capable of sealing 10 mil pouches prior to ordering. (If you don't have your machine's manual, a good reference is if your laminator has either a speed control OR a temperature control, it will likely seal 10 mil pouches).
Oregon Lamination has been in business since the summer of 1984, providing quality laminating supplies for a reasonable price. This product provides high value protection using quality materials. This laminate has heat activated adhesive seamlessly compatible with all major no-jam hot laminator brands capable of sealing 10 mil 9 x 11.5-inch laminating pouches to ensure a smooth professional seal.
Note: Industry standard specification for 10 mil laminating pouches is 10 mil on each flap for a total of 20 mil added to your paper sheet. 1 mil equals 1/1000th of an inch (metric: 25 microns). The industry calls these pouches, yet they are sealed on only one edge instead of three (like a folder, but with 3/32” flat seal at the fold).

FEATURES:
CRYSTAL CLEAR PROTECTION: Ensures documents and photos remain crisp, vibrant and protected while providing a high-glossy finish.
LONG-LASTING: Waterproof construction resists fading and penetration from liquid spills of chemicals, greases, and oils, making this perfect for home or business use.
EASY TO USE: Simply place your document inside the pouch and insert into your laminator, leaving a small edge border with pre-rounded corners for a secure, sealed professional finish.
RECOMMENDED INSERT SHEET SIZE: not larger than 8.75 x 11.25-inch (222mm x 286mm) provides at least 1/8” (3mm) sealed edge border protecting your sheet's edges.

Laminating Tips:When trying ANY laminate for the 1st time, consider running at a slightly lower temperature (or faster speed). If the results are cloudy, you can always run the sheet again at a higher temperature or slower speed, but you cannot fix heat blisters caused by running too hot or too slow.
If you plan on trimming or punching sheets, wait 24 to 72 hours for adequate adhesive curing time and a professional cut edge (thicker laminate requires the longer time).

All laminating pouches are not the same. Oregon Lamination laminating pouches have not been setting on the shelf for years. This means fresh adhesive which may melt faster than other brands, which means potential faster running times or slightly lower temperatures might be used.
Oregon Lamination laminating supplies are manufactured to stringent specifications designated by actual users of the product to achieve high clarity with minimum defects.
