User questions & answers

Question:	I make alot of outdoor signs. Can these endure the weather, like rain
Answer:	I haven't tried them outside but they seem to be very sturdy, almost like a 10 mil. I think they might hold up to the weather, but I imagine the outside would scuff eventually.
Question:	Are these glossy or matt finish? I dont see where it says
Answer:	I would call them more glossy than matte. But really they are just clear after they are laminated.
Question:	Can I double up the 5 mil pouches - put one inside the other with a piece of cardstock inside the inner pouch and laminate it to create a 10 mil sheet
Answer:	I have doubled the laminate...meaning laminate once then put it in another laminate sheet & run it through the laminator. It helps that everything stays together
Question:	Is the 5 or 3 mil pocket thickness better for full 8 1/2 x 11 sheet size in regards to flatness, and general finish
Answer:	The 5ml is thicker. I use both for 8 1/2x11. Both are flat but 5 won't bend unless you really want it to. 3ml lays flat for sheets but you can bend it. I hope that helps. I use mine in a classroom and they hold up well but use 5ml if I'm concerned about kids bending them.

Apache 100 Pack of 5 mil Hot Laminator Pouches

Apache laminator pouches use a proprietary blend of several different types of plastic to provide strength and clarity with a modest amount of UV protection. These pouches are an excellent choice for a variety of documents, including normal paper and thicker materials such as photo paper up to 5 mil thick.

The 5 mil pouches are ideal for laminating standard sheets of paper and do not require the use of a carrier or cover sheet. Documents laminated with 5 mil pouches are thick, stiff, and durable.

The high quality Apache Laminator Pouches produce a crystal clear finish, are not tinted, and are great for photos, school projects, presentation documents, and documents that need preserving. The corners are rounded for design and safety. The lengthwise seam keeps the laminate in place and helps reduce air bubbles.

Apache makes 3 mil and 5 mil pouches that work with all brands of laminators, including Apache's home and professional series laminators. The 3 and 5 mil pouches are not "self-laminating" and must only be used with thermal laminators. For the 3 and 5 mil laminator pouches, search for Apache Laminator pouches.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this 300 or 100 ct.? The description says 100 pk but it is listed as 300. Are there three packs included for the $ 32.96 price
Answer:	I wouldn't know. I bought the Apache 5mm 65 pack, as it was my first time buying it.
Question:	This ad shows an A4 size but it describes it as 9x11.5, does anyone know which is correct
Answer:	I looked up what A4 means: 8.3x11.7 (210x297mm). So, it should be letter size. I bought this size, and it met my needs for letter size paper to laminate.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you cut the sheets
Answer:	Yes you can cut them. There is one factory edge which holds the cut pieces together. You would want a portion of the factory edge if you did cut them. I prefer to simply order the various sizes I need. Cutting a 8.5 x 11" sheet into smaller pieces would likely waste some of the material as the factory edge is on the 8.5" side.
Question:	Over time will the material turn yellow? Or will it stay truley clear
Answer:	It will stay clear.
Question:	Can you laminate several small items in the pouch, then trim them afterwards without losing the laminate
Answer:	You sure can....it works great! I am a preschool teacher and do this often to make games! Just be sure are careful they don't slide as you insert the pouch in the laminator....they will stay if you use a little finesse! I like the 5 ml ;)
Question:	do I have to use a scotch machine to use these pouches
Answer:	I wouldn't think so. Double check the size and thickness of the pouches. And make sure your machine can use those same specs Should be fine.

User questions & answers

Question:	Are these gloss, matte, satin, luster, or semi-gloss? How does the reflectivity compare with the basic Scotch Brand of laminating pouches
Answer:	These are high-gloss with a minimal amount of UV protection. The reflectivity is comparable or exceeds that of Scotch Brand laminating pouches.
Question:	Will these laminating pouches work in another brand name laminator or just the Apache
Answer:	Yes. I use the amazon brand (basics) which, by the way is a great machine! I have had zero issues and used many other apache and other brands with no problems. My machine will work with 3 and 5 Mil laminating materials.
Question:	Are these 5mil pouches really folded (seamed) on the long side as described "The lengthwise seam
Answer:	These pouches are seamed on the short side like the 8 1/2" (width) side of a sheet of printer paper.
Question:	What is the difference between the 5mil and 3mil pouches
Answer:	5 mil is .005 inch thick for each side of the pouch. 3 mil is .003 inch thick for each side of the pouch. A stack of 100 5 mil pouches is exactly one inch tall. 3 mil is fine for one time use or if you are storing the document away or in a binder. 5 mil is better if you will use the document in the field. I agree with the other users who said that Apache's 5 mil pouches are only actually 4 mil. Various other brands I've bought don't have that issue.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this laminate work well around water? We have a swim school business and would like the paper to stay dry and not soak through
Answer:	I would think it would work great as long as you keep a wide edge of the laminate around the edges. It’s much more durable than the 3 mm.
Question:	Can these be used with a Scotch laminator
Answer:	I have a Scotch laminator I bought years ago. These sheets work beautifully with it. I run my projects off on regular paper, rather than cardstock, then use the 5 mil. to protect them which in my opinion gives adequate durability.
Question:	Are these glossy or matte
Answer:	These laminating sheets are glossy, not matte.
Question:	How close does this seal to the edges if using cardstock, and does it evenly seal the same distance all the way around
Answer:	It will depend on your laminator. I use 48lb brochure paper, if I use a consumer laminator the seal is not close to the edge but I bought a better laminator and the gap is barely noticable.Thicker paper will always cause more gap. We make menus with this product and cut the edges off. Lamination is always more durable if you leave about 1/8" all around but I like the clean edge when it's cut off. Our menus are used by 30,000 customers every month and still last 4 months.
