For the price, these are pretty good! I use laminating pouches to preserve my activities that I use with preschoolers. I like that I can clean them too if a kid sneezes or touches it after they had their fingers in their mouth.
What I like:
-worked with my Amazon Basics Lamintor
-it came in two 100 wrapped packs, which was nice for storage
-did the job! It laminated my stuff!
-great value
What I didn't like:
-about 30% of the pouches had a cut/scratch on them (not made by me) and required me to set them aside and use them with single-sided projects
-I did have a few bubbles appear on my items after laminating them, but it wasn't an overwhelming amount (and was minor bubbling)
Overall:
-I still think these are a great value, but its important to point out the pros and cons. The cons are both minor, so I would recommend these pouches for anyone who needs thin pouches to add some protection to your project.
I have been purchasing a LOT of lamination and was looking for a cheaper in cost product with high quality. I took a chance and ordered 12 boxes hoping this would work and while my order was split into two packages and one being delayed for weather, (I cannot figure this out, they left at the same time from the same place and one was delayed and one was not) anyway I tried one sheet out and to my excited amazment it worked the same as the product I was paying $20.00 for. This is great, I am usually skeptical when it comes to reviews as well but trust me this works just as well as the high end, high price product. I am very pleased.
I was reluctant to write about these, I thought that ALL brands had their problems until I tried these (yeah i know these are no names or cheapies!) but I grade these by the “static electricity” between sheets while I’m working with them. I have OTHER brands that I’ve bought that were also 3mil, and I had to resort to using drier softener sheets to keep the static down while separating them ( which btw works pretty darn good), then I have my name brand that rhyms with BOTCH... I thought these were the best, very little static while using them or at least minimal... then I opened this pack of Nuova Premium Thermals... just to see or keep my “on hands” consumptions equal (I keep about 1K of sheets on hand), so I checked them out. Well i read about others who complain about the thickness, I say “read the package and maybe check the heater on your laminator... too hot can make for ripple and humps, And so I measure my lam sheets “side for side” So heres the technical stuff... before heat sealed (each side = 0.0025~0.003” - thats 0.0060” combined) this folks is 3 mil laminate sheets” (6 mil ~ 0.0055” laminated) btw 1 mil = 0.001” while 2 mil = 0.002” and 3 mil = 0.003” and so on. (1 mil is exactly 1 x 10-3 inches. In SI units 1 mil is 2.54 x 10-5 meters.). So I have to say that with these I’m ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating them. No static, nice and clear, seal great and not too stiff like 5 Mils. I will say that I use a high volume 12+” wide sealer and it can run at “higher speeds” so I do WATCH MY HEAT level of the 3 mil sheets and I always let them cool just for a long second on the exit tray. My grandson scribbles on these type of sheets with crayons and markers and it’s absolutely no problem... well depending on the “build up” this can produce it to smear for a minute. Overall I feel this brand so far is my “best of the best”, again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
I bought these to laminate the world! Lol, at least it feels that way when you're a teacher. These laminating sheets look and feel exactly the same as Scotch Brand. They are 3mil and have held up all year to my students. Np peeling at all. I laminate then cut.
I have now bought about 800 of these lamination sheets. I do TONS of laminating for my classroom at home and at school. Our school does not have lamination devices or services, so we are on our own. the quality and ease of use on this product is flawless. I have never had a sheet wrinkle or get sideways in my laminator. They are typically far less expensive than many other brands. I will be a repeat customer for all my school and home needs.

Description
Nuova thermal laminating pouches fit Letter size documents up to 8.5" x 11", 3 Mil, 200-pack. Perfect for protecting important documents, photos and children's artworks. Premium materials ensure clear, durable results and easy to use. Compatible with all laminator brands.
These sheets works perfectly fine with my name-brand laminator, I have had no issues with wrinkles or bubbles.
As long as you're laminating a full sheet of paper, they work great.
If you're trying to laminate smaller pieces (I'm a teacher, so this is frequent-things like flash cards and cards for small groups to use), the pouches dont have any "hold" between the sheets like the name brand pouches do (where the sheets kind of stick together to hold everything in place), so I have to try to find something to place under the pouch in order to load them in the laminator, and even then the pieces will shift as the pouch makes its way through.
In most cases, this can be solved by just laminating before cutting, but there are some materials I want laminated so there's that border in order to preserve the materials a little longer. (3rd graders can be tough on things, no matter how hard you try!)
As a beginner laminator, (is that a word?) I'm not sure how relevant my review is, but this was a great deal. I bought an inexpensive laminator by Scotch, these pouches, and I'm pretty much laminating everything. My kids artwork, schoolwork, doodads, bookmarks, you name it, It's pretty addicting. And really easy. I'm not sure why I didn't have one before. I taped a cute piece of laminated artwork my daughter did in 1st grade on my stainless steel fridge. Kind of fun.
These pouches worked perfectly for me! I have used about 60 pouches and all have come out clear with no bubbles or warping. I do not see any difference between these and the Scotch brand that came with my laminator (except being much less expensive than the Scotch). If they had gotten mixed together I would have no way to tell them apart, before or after the lamination. I use these for school activities, and the thickness is perfect for what I am doing. They are thick enough that a regular sized piece of paper stays upright when you hold it up from the bottom. It doesn't roll or bend. Very pleased with the product and the price.
I'm a teacher and do a *lot* of laminating since my school's laminator has been broken for 4 years. I've tried just about every brand sold on Amazon. These sheets work perfectly, don't stick to one another like some other brands, and they're affordable. I bought the 3 mil version because I use card stock for my materials, but if you use lighter weight paper, I would recommend the 5 mil sheets.
I'll start by saying that I would order these again - this price cannot be beat. As a new kindergarten teacher, I am laminating a lot of things - pretty much anything that kids touch needs to be laminated if I want it to last more than a day. At this price, it isn't too expensive to make sure that every center or game piece gets laminated. I also like that, like most personal laminating machine sheets, these come out thicker and sturdier than the big laminators at school.
However, I did notice on my last batch of laminating that not all edges were sealed closely, so piece that were too close together may not have a sealed edge between them or one piece may need more edge than usual to make sure that the edge is sealed. Despite this, I will still purchase these again and just make sure to allow for some extra space for more effective edges.
