It warms up quickly and is extremely easy to use
October 4, 2016
This is the same laminator I use at work which is why I decided to purchase it for home use. It warms up quickly and is extremely easy to use. I appreciate the fact that you can buy various sizes of laminating sheets to use with different products.The plastic piece in the back that pops up to help hold the item in place as it goes through is slightly flimsy which makes it awkward to work with but it doesn't affect the process at all.

I'm a teacher and this is perfect to have at home when I am working on projects for the classroom and need to laminate. Thicker than what we have a school, love it.
- I fully recommend this Scotch product for non-commercial use (although I noticed ...
September 9, 2014
I have had this laminator for one year.I use this laminator "occassionally", not "commercially".My primary use for this laminator is for 8.5 X 11.0 sheets for large-print recipes printed on them for use in the kitchen and "no parking" signs in my alley.After one year I can report the following:- I fully recommend this Scotch product for non-commercial use (although I noticed my neighborhood pack-n-mail store uses the same product for their lamination for a dollar a sheet - so at 30 sheets I have paid for the unit!).- I have had no mechanical or electrical problems after one year use - light use.- I have had no problems laminating, say, 12 items one after the other. I have not tried to laminate 100 sheets in succession. Someone else reported overheating at 40 sheets.- You have to wait a few minutes for the unit to heat up before starting but it is just a couple of minutes, no problem.- It is for general/residential use/volume. It is not for commercial or high volume use. For instance, 500 laminated sheets would be an all day project to do (slow speeds and probably some "cool down" periods).- Yes, it has a slight smell from the heat as it "melts" the sheets into place.- I have had no problems with the sheets coming apart (just be sure to wait for the unit to reach full temperature before starting - the "ready" light comes on).- If you let the items sag as they come out then it will be permanently curved down. If you lift up on the item as it comes out it will be permanently curved up. If you hold it perfectly level as it comes out it will lay perfectly flat. If you allow it to come out on the desk/counter it will curve up slightly. I place it at the edge of my desk and hold the item perfectly straight as it comes out and it remains perfectly flat once it cools within seconds. It retains whatever curl it has or doesn't have as it cools within seconds.- The laminated sheets are impervious to water and soap (for instance, I use the recipe sheets in the kitchen and then wash them afterwards with zero problems, I also use them for "no parking" signs in the alley in the rain with no problem - perfectly tight lamination). I have not left them in the sun for extended periods of time to see what the sun would do to the lamination.- See the other reviews for class room use: apparently highly recommend for classrooms by the teachers and that seems very reasonable to me from my home use. I could see laminating 30 items for 30 students - great price for non-commercial use like this. I looked at commercial laminator units - I could buy and wear out 10 of these for the price of one commercial laminator.- Amazon has the best price I found after seeing this unit on Amazon and two or three brick stores.- I have had no problems with the sheets provided with the unit or with Scotch sheets purchased afterwards. I don't understand how others have had any problems with the Scotch brand products made for this Scotch brand unit. Am I missing something here?- Yes you can laminate thin or thick paper (say 18 to 24 pound paper and photographs easily). I have not tried poster board thickness but I wouldn't hesitate to do so - maybe give poster board a little extra room at the edges is all.- Yes you can trim it down. For instance, 5X7" pictures laminated for 8.5" X 11.0" paper then trimmed with scissors. I have had zero problems with the seal after trimming these down. Let the unit fully heat up before you laminate and then let it fully cool down before you trim it. It only takes seconds, not minutes, for it to completely cool down before you can trim it as you like. An extra 5 seconds of patience makes all the difference.- Read the little manual for hassle free usage. (duh!)- Warm up: I just tested it. It took 6 minutes to warm up in a 70 degree room with 3ml lamination selected. In that time I still haven't found my lamination sheets. I have never never found the warm up time to be a problem. I walk into the office to laminate, I hit the on button, and before I find my sheets and carefully insert my item the unit is ready for lamination. After that, I just leave the unit on until I am finished with my laminations for the day. It smells a bit like hot electrical wires - especially at the 3 minute mark after months of being turned off.- I would never leave the unit turned "on" for any length of time for safety reasons - I only turn it on when I need the unit. I basically turn the unit off when I', done with the job and leave my den.- The unit handles 3 ml sheets and 5 ml sheets. The 3 ml sheets seem plenty thick for everyday use. I have not used 5ml sheets yet. Not sure why I would ever need 5ml sheets - heavy duty garage usage maybe? I would probably let it warm up a little longer for 5ml just to make sure it is hot enough to melt the sheets together.- I have never really needed the "release" lever - when it drops the sheet it's done and ready for the next sheet. Wait, now I remember, I have used the "release" lever when I insert the item completely and utterly cock-eyed and I just want to pull the whole thing out and start over because it is going in at such a weird angle that it will soon jam at one edge or the other...duh! This is a human problem - not a product problem. Oh, by the way, I like the little "flip-down" entry door on the back with guide bars. Close it and it saves space. Open it (and use the guide bars!) and it works just fine to line up the sheets perfectly for entry.- Make sure you have your paper lined up inside the lamination sheets just as you want it before you insert the item for lamination - once you start, let it finish. If you have some "rare" item you are laminating I would practice first before laminating it. You could always cut it loose if you don't like the results such as placing your item in crooked or something. I have done this and all you do is cut it out and just toss one lamination sheet - no big deal, easy to do. - The cord is 5'3" long. It is not retractable but there is a place to wrap any extra length you may have. I just discovered this and wrapped up about a foot and half of extra cord length off my desktop.- Standard USA 120v two-plug, no 3rd ground plug required.- Made in China.- United Labs listed.- Off white color.
Teacher Review
March 9, 2014
I normally don't review the things I buy on amazon, but after buying this and using it extensively for a classroom, I absolutely had to review this for anyone still doubting. Working with students in the 6 - 7 yr range, anything you're using over and over again absolutely must be laminated, or it will be destroyed. The things I laminated using this held up amazingly well - far better than the paper I had laminated onsite by the school.Pros:Good quality plastic, very thick, holds up to bending and heavy useCan be cut to make bookmarks or other shapes without peelingSimple and easy to useCons:Slow!Over heats after laminating about 40 consecutive sheetsIf you have the time and are looking for a laminator that's affordable, I would recommend getting this.
easy to use
December 29, 2013
This unit is of the sort that you can plug in and use immediately after only a cursory review of the operating instructions. Very easy setup, very easy to select the variable thickness of the pouches available, and capable of doing 2 sheets at once (front/back) in the lighter pouch, if it is sent through on the thick setting. I and two friends used it about a dozen times right out of the box in a chilly basement, and it warmed right up and functioned like a champ.I have NOT been using it long enough to give a suitable use and wear review, but I anticipate no troubles.This is perfect for tabletop gamers, parents who want to make chores lists, businesses who need semi-permanent schedules, delivery persons who need a resilient route map, cooks who like to keep a 4x6 or 5x7 file of stain-proof cards, memorializing articles for long term keepsakes, or any other task that would benefit from use of a laminated cardstock, provided it is not substantially thick, and is 8.5 x 11 or smaller.I have not tested an alternate sized paper.Overall easy, good quality, well worth the price.
What fun! This little hot thing is the DOG!
October 14, 2013
This is my first laminating machine and I am really enjoying the functionality, steadfastness and reliability so far of this work-horse. Mainly, I'm using it with Scotch's thermal laminating pouches (business card size) and it does a great job sealing. The machine is surprisingly quite as it churns out perfect laminated 3 x 5 business cards. It is ready to use within a few short minutes and so far, hasn't over-heated or barfed up anything unusual. I like this laminating work-horse; it does a decent job at an affordable price for what I need it to do.

They have worked perfectly for every project I've used them for. I've mainly been using them for photo projects and I can easily fit 3 4x6 photos in one sleeve and the photo seems to come out even brighter and crisper than before.
Been using these for several years!

Keeps papers tear free for years in my classroom! I use them with my scotch laminator, and they allow my center materials to stay nice and neat for several years! Makes it worth it for me to put together colorful, fun centers!
Perfect thickness for laminating paper bookmarks! (other paper products)
July 13, 2016
These laminating pouches are the perfect thickness to laminate bookmarks that fit comfortably between pages. I just re-ordered a pack of 200 sheets and will definitely be getting use out of them! I use them with the Scotch Thermal Laminator 2 roller system and got really great results. They're thick enough to handle easily when feeding into the laminator machine. I've laminated both 100lb coverstock as well as 80lb, so I laminate paper on the thicker side and they work amazingly well. There is a good seal and when the paper is fed correctly, no crinkling of any sort. I've never had an issue with the laminate bubbling or warping. I found the best way to feed into the machine is setting the document in the laminating pouch on top of something that is on level with the opening feed. (I use the box that the 200 pouches came in or a stack of books). This ensures a straight feed for good results everytime. The laminating pouches may be a bit opaque but once it heat sets and is fed through the machine, it comes out crystal clear. I've recently started using these to make little ID badges as well. A great product that I would recommend and will definitely be purchasing again.Over time, I will update my review for longevity and quality of the product. If you found my review helpful, please vote with a YES/LIKE. It would be greatly appreciated!
Amazing pouches for a great price
February 19, 2016
I love these laminating pouches! I am an elementary teacher and I hate how the school lamination is thin and comes off easily, even when it hasn't been trimmed too close. I used my Scotch Thermal Laminator Combo Pack, Includes 20 Letter-Size Laminating Pouches, Holds Sheets up to 8.5" x 11(TL902VP) for 2 and a half years before a rogue off-brand laminating pouch got stuck in it and essentially took it out of commission. My hubby was able to disassemble it and get it out, but the sticky residue remained. I keep it now as a backup for my Scotch Thermal Laminator, 2 Roller System, Fast Warm-up, Quick Laminating Speed (TL901C-T), and have vowed to NEVER buy off brand pouches again. Haven't had a problem since, and the cost is well worth it!

These are awesome. They are crystal clear and you can cut right down the middle of a single laminated sheets without it coming apart (it will come apart if you laminate two sheets back-to-back and cut too close to the papers with lamination sticking to one side of each page). WARNING: Make sure you insert the page closed-side first. If you insert the open side then you will break your laminator. True story! Happened to me because I was trying to do too many things at once and wasn't paying attention. It melted all around the rolling bar inside my laminator. Had to get a new one. BESIDES the point. But just wanted to give warning when I can. Great sheets. Great price. Love them!
Nice Home Laminator
June 20, 2012
My wife loves crafting and making all sorts of things. She needed to laminate some stuff and I decided we should just buy one. This unit does a really good job. I was really impressed how some items she made for a party she was planning turned out. The lamination was nice and thick and looked professional. It wasn't flimsy like some of the home laminating I have seen. The unit heats up fast, and auto feeds the pouch in. It couldn't be any simpler. It is so easy, that I have even laminated some things for my football coaching and a little mothers day project for the wife.Also, make sure to order the pouches online as well, they are much cheaper.

Heads up, the good and the Not so good"
December 1, 2016
A good laminator and does the job well enough. it is limited to 3-5 mil thickness laminations, Do not try to run 10 mil as it will not seal properly.The good: it is sufficient for most common home owner and non-commercial type work. Works very well with standard printer paper thicknesses.The less than good: the guide rails for the "In-feed" rollers is very flimsy plastic and can easily have the rack and gear disengage.(but it is easy enough to pop back in place)CORRECTION, This unit does not need a CARRIER ENVELOPE . My mistake, The smell the people mention is the release agent that the manufacturer uses to make sure the plastic doesn't stick to the hot rollers.

This product laminates well. It is a little tricky to keep the sheets straight, I believe the tray on it that guides the sheet is not sturdy enough. I feel like if it were sturdier then the sheet would stay in straight.
Great for small 4x6 badges!
February 22, 2016
Works just fine with Scotch Thermal Laminating Pouches, 5 x 7-Inches, 20-Pouches (TP5903-20) ! Just follow directions that comes with the box and you should be good to go. :) Just don't let pets/children near it. I live with roommates, so they don't enter my room and mess around with my things. Keep it on good hard surface and not have cloth/plastic near it when you are working with it.Cons: None yet so far, Had it for about year and about to start season 2 of badges so will try to keep update on this!
Good machine for the price
June 20, 2014
I haven't been using this machine long, but I've been happy with it so far. It's a very simple device, and it's easy to use. The various users in our office have all been pleased. It doesn't come with a ton of sleeves, so be sure to order more if you plan to do a bunch of laminating.
Blinking Red Light
September 12, 2012
No one, not this site or the manufacture's site, warns you about the blinking red light. So I'll tell you. If you plug this in and the light starts to blink... it's broken! Send it back! Amazon.com was very good about replacing it. Once we received a new laminator that worked, it worked well. Very simple to use and we have had good results. Why wouldn't anyone explain about the blinking red light?

Super convenient and easy to use! My only complaint is that sometimes when I have finished a sheet, there is still a cloudy looking effect on the paper. Not a big deal and will not hinder my continued use!
Good product as expected.

These laminating sheets worked well and were easy to use. Note, these sheets require a laminating machine as they are not the sticky type of laminating sheets.
Lamination.
November 1, 2016
I like it, but need to try some 5 mil stuff. I should have looked deeper and got the 5 mil, but that is no fault of Scotch or 3M. These work well. I used them with the AmazonBasics Thermal Laminator. Both worked quite well.
Very thick, but not good as a dry-erase
October 3, 2016
Works great for laminating for a classroom. Or school seems to never have any laminating film when I need to laminate items for the class.I have bought this several times, the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it is really hard to erase if the students use a dry erase marker on it (even Expo). I had laminated papers for small group and it was almost impossible for the students to erase after writing on it. The thinner school laminating film works much better for that.
Clear, but some warping involved.
June 1, 2015
The results on my laminations come out clear, but with noticeable warping. I don't know if it is the laminate material or the inexpensive Scotch Thermal Laminator I use (I use it so infrequently that I couldn't see spending the big bucks on an expensive laminator). I wonder if a thicker laminate would prevent the warping. Perhaps when I need another package, I will look for the next thckness up.

December 31, 2012
I purchased Scotch Thermal Pouches 8.9 x 11.4 Inches, 100-Pack (TP3854-100) to use with my Provocraft book binding/laminating machine. I made a book for my niece with the pouches and it came out pretty well (if I do say so myself!) The laminated pages were much more rigid than I was anticipating (guess i"m used to the cheaper lamination the schooloffers) so I was a little worried my niece might cut herself on the edges - thankfully she hasn't.The only real complaint I have so far is that a few of the pages I have encountered had little holes or something in the plastic and while they laminated ok (I used them for practice) they didn't look that great. So you really have to pay attention and look the pouch over before you ruin any items!.FYI, I noticed it is very easy to cut the seal when trimming around the laminated items. I used a cutter to trim my pages but didn't notice the seal wasn't always a "perfect" line around the object so I ended up cutting the seal. Luckily I was able to put the page back through the machine and seal it again. With more practice, I'm sure it will get easier.So far I'm happy with this product :)

Wish the opening was wider to allow for some wiggle room.
May 28, 2017
Pretty happy with this laminator for the most part. It does have a tendency to pull sheets through crooked, and i've messed up a few different sheets because it didn't matter how hard you try to go straight it still went crooked. I wish it just had a slightly bigger opening to allow for some room to play. Otherwise it's a great machine.

I always have issues with these small laminators catching the corners of the sheets while being fed through. Sometimes they just bend/curl a little. my last one, however, would jam it all up and I had to get a new one
but it was a great machine while it lasted
September 12, 2016
I ordered this item on January 1. I started to use it for the new school year and find it has broken. No one used it, but it was a great machine while it lasted. I guess there is no warranty. Next time I will order the item with one year warranty... It is worth a few bucks more when it breaks after only nine months.
Good but finicky to use
December 8, 2015
Overall it works well for the money, but loading the sheets in can be a real pain. The cheap flimsy feed tray doesn't always line up with the opening, and if the sheet isn't at the EXACT proper angle it hits an immovable object just inside the opening. This means you have to wiggle and fight with the sheet to get it into the machine, meanwhile everything you had neatly arranged to laminate is now laying underneath and on top of one another.Patience is highly recommended when using this thing.
The machine works great! However
October 25, 2015
The machine works great! However, the paper guide does not stay folded up. In order to protect the guide when not in use, I need to rubber band or somehow tie it up. Disappointed that I just saw the same machine at Target for less than $21.
Can find it cheaper.

The thermal film is extremely difficult to separate in order to prepare the document for laminating. Some sort of a tab would be helpful
Items slip around inside the pouches!
March 24, 2014
Maybe I just got a bad batch or something. The inside of each pouch isn't tacky at all. It's almost impossible to keep pieces of cardstock or paper from sliding around inside when inserting into the laminator. Then when that happens, the pouch and the items being laminated get ruined. The pouches I bought before were sticky enough inside to keep stuff from slipping around.

as expected.
OK, a bit bubbly on my laminator
April 16, 2017
Well, these were the cheaper option. They kind of bubble up a bit in my (admittedly) non-Scotch brand laminator. Running papers through twice helps.
Ok

There ok. My first use has a discoloration and I'm not sure why

skip it, better models out there
September 29, 2016
I had a different model of scotch laminator that finally stopped heating up (lasted 5 years!) so I bought this as a replacement. Came with a few free pouches-and that's where the good news stops. This model heats up slowly. Sliding the pouches into the heated slot is nearly impossible! You have to line it up perfectly, pushing down on the tray while simultaneously trying to push it in--sometimes you can offer up a prayer at the same time in hopes that it all lines up perfectly. So far I have not had one time where it worked perfectly so it takes me MANY tries to actually get the pouch in. I used my last one 8-10 times a week. With this one, I curse if something needs to be laminated. Overall, I would skip this one and look at other models which will save you time and headache. Once getting the pouch in, it laminates items correctly.
Poorly made. Poor design.
September 17, 2016
I think this is rather cheaply made. Nothing special. It works and does laminate. The input tray on the back is flimsy cheap plastic that doesn't like to stay in place. I think the idea is that the input tray is supposed to stow. And that would be fine if it would just stay in place during use. I have also had a jam in mine once (my fault because the previous laminations were stacking up and eventually blocked the exit) and I was able to unplug and unscrew the case on the device to remove the jam. If I was to buy again, I would not buy this model.Update: (Reduce one more star)I really think this is junk. The input tray is very poor. Falls down constantly. Every lamination, practically, I must put the input tray back in place. I wish I never bought this because surely there are many others that are much better than this. I have had it longer than can be returned, so I am stuck with using this piece of junk or buying a different one.
Very disappointed!
July 26, 2016
The laminator itself still works, but one of the tabs that holds the back of the tray up (and out of the way of feeding lamination sheets) is already broken. Very disappointed!
JUST OK
June 6, 2016
IT DOES THE JOB BUT I HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE FEEDING TRAY STAYING UP. I ENDED UP PUTTING BOOKS UNDER IT TO HELP WITH THE PROJECT SO MY HUSBAND DIDN'T HAVE TO STAND THERE & HOLD IT UP. I SHOULD HAVE RETURNED IT AND PAID THE PRICE FOR A BETTER MODEL. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS LAMINATOR.
Trouble with new Laminator
October 19, 2015
I just received my Laminator and needed to use it right away for a project. I have not been able to get one piece through without it destroying the paper. I have gone through 9 papers so far. It looks like there is a little plastic part that is sticking out in front that is making it not come through correctly...
It was okay
October 9, 2013
I enjoyed the product until I ran into technical issues. For some reason, it can't be repaired at home and they advise us not to take it apart. How else are we supposed to fix it if there's a jam somewhere?

The free couple of laminating pouches that came with my Scotch thermal laminator were fine - so it's probably a fine product
July 28, 2017
Unfortunately, I didn't use until after my return window was closed. But the box I got was cloudy. The free couple of laminating pouches that came with my Scotch thermal laminator were fine - so it's probably a fine product. I'm disappointed in the box I got though.
Thumbs down.

Have not worked as well as last batch I ordered. Keep wrinkling. Disappointed with quality.
Received package opened
June 7, 2017
My package came opened- The Scotch box was damaged and had been opened and re closed and the plastic casing around the laminating pouches was opened as well. I did not take the time to count out 100 sheets to make sure they were all there but some could have easily been missing. I didn't want to bother with the hassle of sending the package back. The laminating sheets themselves seem to work fine.

March 4, 2017
These are knockoff laminating sheets! Too thin and staticky. Lower quality. The sheets also wrinkle when laminating. Right away they felt different than the usual scotch laminating sheets previously purchased on Amazon or stores. Buyer beware.... it's a hit or miss with ordering on Amazon.
Too thin at 3/1000th of an inch. Sealed pages twice to get double thickness for durability as outdoor signs.
February 11, 2017
Too thin at 3mil...I'm used to thicker ones like 5 or 6 mil. So I had to double bag these - first seal in a single pouch, then put the sealed pouch in a second and laminate a second time. But I'm going to get a pack of thicker ones. These are too light & flimsy.
corners curl up.
July 9, 2016
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but the corners curl up almost every time I use it. The instruction manual doesn't have anything about that problem.

Breaks in one use!
October 20, 2015
I have had two of these, and both of them smoked and quick working within two weeks of getting them. I keep them stored and placed on a table when using. I was only able to use each one once before it smoked.
Piece of junk!
October 6, 2015
It's a piece of junk! Used it once and it broke. By the time I took it out to use it a second time it was broken and too late to return it.

April 17, 2017
Unfortunately, all of the sheets that I have gotten from this pack do not remain "sealed" once laminated. I thought it was my laminator, so I had that looked at. Then, I bought a different brand/package of laminating pouches and tested them out throughout this month. Every single Scotch sheet that I used fell apart, whereas the other brand remained in tact. I tested this with regular paper along with cardstock. I am very displeased with this product and I will not be purchasing it again.
Worked once, then never again.

the pouch's glue is not strong, my sheet could not be laminated well
Sorry I ordered this!! Found 5mm off brand better and at 1/3 the price. Sorry I didn't do my research!
March 3, 2016
I am so upset with this purchase. I ordered the 3mm due to the price. When I used it, it the pages waved at me. I decided to spend the extra money and get the 5mm. When I went searching for 5mm, I ran across an off brand at 1/3 of the price. I read the reviews and decided to order it. Wow! I can't believe how much Scotch rips you off for their name. Never ever again will I buy their sheets. Do your research people. I wish I had.
These did not work well for me at all. Very disappointed.
September 24, 2014
These are the worse laminating pouches and I'm really surprised since they are Scotch. I had a package of Gordon laminating pouches that I had been using but cannot find on Amazon at all. They worked great! They were clear and did not pucker or bubble at all... however, these Scotch brand sheets pucker and bubble a lot. They arrived with some creases in the first several sheets, but I dug down and got ones out that were smooth and looked good. However, putting them through my laminating machine proved to be terrible. They puckered, they bubbled, they are not smooth and certainly not clear where there are ripples and bubbles. There are even some strange whitish marks appearing in between the top and bottom sheets. I am really unhappy with this purchase and will not be buying any more from this company. I thought they would be as good, if not better, than the last brand I purchased since it was not a top-notch company brand, but I am really disappointed with these. I'm trying to use them as I need them badly, but they are really not good quality at all. I will not be buying these ever again.
