Avery Clear Laminating Sheets, 9" x 12", Permanent Self-Adhesive, 50 Self-Laminating Sheets, Great for Protecting Documents, Photos, and Signs More (73601)

These were perfect for my needs. They were easy to use (as easy to use as laminating sheets usually are). They adhered well to the cardstock I applied them to. If you want a smooth adhesion without bubbles or anything make sure you are applying with a smoothing tool of some sort or a ruler or something (save yourself some trouble and look up a youtube video of how to properly apply a laminating sheet (again not a pouch) and you will likely not have any serious issues with bubbles or wrinkles. You should be aware that there is a slight crease because the backing is cut near the edge to help you peel a small area to line up your item without sticking the whole thing down. This crease does not show up much when proper application is used on most paper products but on something like a photo it may be more visible. If using with a photo you may want to line photos up to the edge of that line so it does not go through the middle of an image.Many people who are unhappy with this product seem to be confused about what they are buying. It should be clear that what you are getting is not a laminating pouch it is laminating sheets. This means it covers one side of a sheet of paper. In order to create a double sided laminated item where it is completely enclosed you will need to use two sheets together. For double sided lamination I would definitely recommend a pouch as those are much easier to work with with for that type of application. These sheets however are perfect for uses where only one side needs lamination (like homemade stickers, boxes that only need a protective layer on the outside, adding a protective layer to things like the cover of a paperback book to make it more durable, etc...)Some people have likened this product to contact paper. Personally I do not find the two items comparable. Contact paper I've used does not adhere as well as these sheets (clearly a different adhesive must be used) and is thinner. For example I have been able to rip contact paper but I cannot rip these laminating sheets. They are thinner than an adhesive laminating pouch or a thermal pouch and will not provide the same stiff type of protection as those. Also, these sheets do not have a high gloss finished look it's more like a semi-gloss type finish to it, it's not dull but its not extremely shiny. I liked the weight and finish for my uses which was to add an additional layer for outside protection on a calendar box but for those looking for heavy duty laminates that create a stiff hard cover over both sides of a document... this is not the product for you.

I’ve been using these one-sided laminating sheets consistently for the past three years to create stickers for my Etsy shop. They’ve never let me down—my stickers always come out clear, waterproof, and scratch-resistant thanks to these sheets.The adhesive is strong, and I rarely have issues with bubbles. On the rare occasion that bubbles do appear, they’re easy to smooth out using a credit card or similar tool. The quality and consistency have kept me coming back time and time again.Highly recommend for small business owners, crafters, or anyone looking for durable laminating sheets that deliver professional results.

I use these for a lot of things & buy them every so often. Easy to use - just peel the back off & stick.

Very lightweight and worth the money. These are the only ones I’ll buy. They work great for what I need.

This is an AMAZING product. I use this to put over my vinyl dye-cut stickers and it's great! The stickiness is phenomenal, so be aware that as soon as this touches paper there is no readjusting without tearing the paper. Make sure you line everything up PERFECTLY before even slightly touching the paper with it or you'll have to start your project over. This has given my stickers great protection and makes my water resistant vinyl become waterproof. It's durable, the perfect thickness, and the clarity is great.As great as this product is I do have two complains that kept it from being a 5 star product for me. First, this laminate collects fine scratches very easily, so if your making stickers beware because they are noticable. Second, I use a Cricut Explore Air 2 to cut my stickers and no matter how new the blade is or what settings I use I still get jagged edges or drag marks on about 20% of my stickers. I don't have any issues cutting anything else so I know it's the laminate causing the issue. I can trim off the jagged edges but there isn't anything I can do about the drag marks. It does fine with scissors, so if you just need to cut it for simple projects you'll be fine.There are ways around these issues and everyone's projects are different, so I still highly recommend this product. I'll keep buying it myself!My application process:1. I trim the laminate to fit my project perfectly. At the top of the laminate there is a small strip you can peel off to get your start, DON'T cut that piece off when trimming to fit your project.2. I tape the bottom of my project to a smooth surface to prevent it from moving while applying the laminate. *It's important the surface is completely smooth to prevent air bubbles*3. I peel off the backing strip, mentioned above, and line everything up PERFECTLY then press the laminate to my project.3. I fold back the laminate and peel the backing up just enough to get a good hold and then lay it back down while still holding the backing.4. I slowly peel the backing off with one hand while the other hand is being used as a squeegee to keep air bubbles from forming. *Keep your squeegee hand running with the backing while it's pulling off for best results*5. After the backing is completely off I tape down wax paper over my project and use a hard plastic scraper all over my project to make sure the laminate is completely stuck down and to remove any air bubbles. * I use wax paper over top to prevent the scraper from scratching the laminate. I tape the wax paper downto prevent it from sliding around and scratching the laminate*6. I remove the wax paper and the tape from the bottom of the project then cut my stickers out.This has been perfect for me and I hope it helps you too.

Excellent product. However, this is how I used it. I did not remove the *peel here* tape as a starter. I used the other side of it, where the large sheet is. I merely used the *peel here* ribbon as a back stop. I would peel about 2" to 3" of the larger sheet and place the item to be laminated edge against the *peel here" (it is not removed until the end). The peel here is a bumper to line everything up. As it is lined up, slowly start pressing and evenly moving the paper to be laminated forward. Afterwards, you can then trim the edges. Works on both sides. I figured it out after destroying about 3 sheets of the laminate. BTW, I was laminating letter size paper and it was not easy to figure it out. Hope this helps someone.

Easy laminating sheets for home use. I use these to laminate pics, certificates or writing sheets for my child. This was my 2nd order. I love them.
