Encapsulate and protect your sheets. Akiles IBM Data Card size 10 mil thick on both sides thermal laminating pouches 2-5/16” x 3-1/4” for up through 2-1/16” x 3” size sheets are high clarity after adhesive is heat activated. The clear glossy finish protects and enhances colors. These laminates are 10 mil thick on each side flap for extra 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).

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 for the fold).

Akiles brand is among industry leaders in providing the quality laminating supplies for a reasonable price. Our laminating products provide high value protection using quality materials. This product has heat activated adhesive compatible in all thermal pouch laminators capable of sealing 10 Mil 2 sides, 2-5/16” x 3-1/4” laminating pouches.

Tips:
When trying ANY brand 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.
If you plan on trimming or punching sheets, wait 24 to 72 hours for maximum adhesive curing time and a professional cut edge.
