• Premium PET with a glossy finish: The PET film delivers superb clarity and color reproduction, providing a bright, high-contrast presentation that makes text easier to read and images pop. The glossy surface adds depth and a professional sheen that enhances display materials for evidence, reports, and client-ready documents.

How to Install Fellowes Glossy Pouches

• Prepare your document: Remove staples, clips, and wrinkles. Align the document so it sits centered within the pouch, leaving a uniform margin around all edges to ensure a clean seal during lamination.
• Load the pouch correctly: Place the document inside the pouch with the sealed edge aligned toward the roller that feeds into the laminator. The pretrimmed edges help facilitate a smooth feed and consistent sealing.
• Set the laminator: Turn on the machine and select the appropriate temperature and speed for 5 mil pouches. Allow the laminator to reach the recommended operating temperature for best results and to minimize jams.
• Laminate with care: Insert the pouch slowly and steadily through the laminator, keeping the document flat and centered. Maintain a steady pace to ensure an even seal on both sides and prevent edge curling.
• Cool and finish: After lamination, place the sealed sheet on a flat, cool surface to solidify the seal. If needed, trim any excess material for a precise fit, though these pouches are designed to be pretrimmed for straightforward use.
