How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsI didn't know how much I needed a laminator
Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2020
I've been laminating everything in sight since I got this thing. I had been eyeing a laminator for some time for my studio, but didn't think I'd use it enough to justify the cost or space. Then I started helping to homeschool my grandson when his preschool shut down for the pandemic. It's great for making items that he can work with many times. Along comes Halloween and I've now made all kinds of decorations that will carryover for many years. Time to get started on Thanksgiving, then Christmas. I'm on a hot roll, so to speak.

3.0 out of 5 starsnot quite the same
Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2019
I wanted to review this because it should be said that this product is a little different. I don't know why, but it is different than the 100 packs of the "supposed" same product. I have a box of TP3854-100 and a box of TP3854-200. The 100 pack is heavier weight laminate and seems a little "sticky" when you go to peel them apart-which I LIKE. It helps to hold my document in place-better. The 200 pack is definitely thinner laminate and there is no stickiness at all. My document sometimes (with a little air gust) slides around between the two sheets, sometimes giving me creases in the finished product and sometimes document misplacement, so the laminate does not have an even border around it. Still it is a decent product, but I will spend a little extra, going forward and only buy the 100 pack product. I have conducted this comparison test, twice. The only difference I can tell is that the 200 pack was manufactured in 2013 and the 100 pack was manufactured in 2011. Maybe if i get a newer pack of the 100 pack, I will see a similar issue, IDK about that.

1.0 out of 5 stars Only got one sheet out of it
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2019
Style: 200 Pack PouchesVerified Purchase
Bought this laminator for my home office in March 2019, I pulled it out today to use it and I was able to run one sheet through it perfectly fine. After that sheet I noticed it started to smoke but I could smell the adhesive burning so I thought it was just on the roller. I put in the second sheet and it did not come out. It stopped about a third of the way through and all I could see was smoke. I tried the release lever to no avail. I had to turn it off and wait for it to cool off because it was so hot. I had it on the 3 mil setting so it was on the lower heat setting to start with. After getting the jam out, I saw that it completely burned through the sheet where it got stuck. I turned it back on and it never said ready. I realized it no longer heated up. What a waste. Definitely a waste of money. Not even worth trying to ask for warranty work since the only way to get the jam out is to open it up. I was using scotch pouches so it was simply a defective product. Very disappointed.

1.0 out of 5 stars 20% Came Damaged
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2018
Style: 200 Pack PouchesVerified Purchase
I have bought these laminating pouches before and really liked them, but this package has more than it's fair share of damaged plastic pouches. It looks like somebody took a pair of scissors and carved out marks into the plastic. I would say about 20% of the pouches are damaged in this manner. The rest are perfect, but I paid for 200. I'm having to inspect each pouch as I use it and turn my student's work so they won't have big lines through them. When I made memory books for my students some of them just had marks or I had to throw the plastic pouch away. This has never happened before with the Scotch Thermal Laminating Pouches, I certainly hope this was a fluke and that they aren't letting their standards down.

5.0 out of 5 stars What A Deal!
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2021
Style: 200 Pack PouchesVerified Purchase
We started buying these in 2014 and have reordered them 7 times in the last 7 years. My wife uses them at school and has never had any problem with them. She has used over 1100 of the 8.9 x 11.4 and they stay together and hold up quite well in the classroom. We tried the cheaper brands and they were no comparison to Scotch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product for a great price
Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2020
Style: 200 Pack PouchesVerified Purchase
I am a preschool teacher and I need to laminate things all the time. With our budget the way it is, I need something that I can buy myself and for a good price. 200 sheets at this cost is perfect for what I need. I am constantly using these for my teaching materials and for student work. It holds up well against the children and even does well with dry erase/wet erase markers. I recommend wet erase markers over dry erase, but that is just me. This lamination also does well with tape, velcro, or sticky tack without it falling off. It actually adheres to it pretty well. Love it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Must have product for the crafty person
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2019
Style: 200 Pack PouchesVerified Purchase
Comparing prices for laminating pockets, these pouches are very reasonable. They arrived in two days and were put to good use immediately. My wife, the crafty person, has used these pouches to laminate many items she has created for personal use and for gifts. She has designed book marks (remember books?) for many of her friends and the laminating protects them. We found that the pouches can be cut down the length and gives her multiple laminations from one pouch. These are 3 mil pouches. Make sure that the pouch comes out flat from laminator to help eliminate curl. We have not had any problems with these pouches, only user error, trying to laminate items too thick. We have laminated 2 cardstock with a printed sheet at one time and the lamination came out fine. When trimming items, don't cut too close if using thicker paper, it leaves a slight air gap around the item.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quality Laminator at a Great Price
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2020
Style: w/Laminating MachineVerified Purchase
I purchased this laminator to make school/daily schedules for my girls since they are not in daycare at the moment. The laminator works really well. My only complaint is getting the plastic sleeve into the slot in the back. You need to get it at just the right angle to get it in. I found that holding it at the top of the sleeve vs. trying to feed it in by holding it at the bottom is key. It works really well and there is no need to run what you are laminating through twice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product, Easy to Use & Good Value For Price
Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2021
Style: w/Laminating MachineVerified Purchase
Look into her googly eyes and tell me you don't want one of these - I dare you!

Not much of a laminating person, but I needed to put up some signage that will go both indoor and outdoor and this little laminator is perfect for my needs. Just remember:

IT TAKES 5 MINUTES TO WARM UP!!
(The Ready Light Will Come On)

As someone not used to laminating I didn't realize this, but it makes perfect sense. It warmed up actually in less than 5 minutes and from there it was a total breeze.

I highly recommend for anyone out there who needs a good laminator - I hope this helps!
