FAQs
What does IPX5 standard mean?
IPX5 means the product is protected against water jets projected by a nozzle (6.3mm) from any direction. It indicates resistance to splashing and rain, but not full immersion.
Can I use these pockets for laminated A4 documents?
Yes, you can use laminated documents as long as the total thickness does not exceed the two-sheet capacity. Lamination can offer additional protection.
Are the cable ties reusable?
The included cable ties are standard zip ties and are generally single-use once tightened.
What is the recommended material for inserts?
The product includes two 160gsm A4 inserts. While other paper weights can be used, 160gsm offers a good balance of durability and flexibility for the pocket's capacity.
Can I use these pockets indoors?
Yes, they are suitable for indoor use, especially in areas with high humidity like bathrooms or kitchens where document protection is needed.
How do I clean the anti-reflective coating?
Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using paper towels or abrasive materials, which can cause micro-scratches.
Where can I find the signage templates?
Signage templates are available for free download from the DURAPRINT website.
What is the heat stability limit?
The pockets are tested to 60°C, making them suitable for most outdoor and indoor applications, but they should not be placed near direct heat sources exceeding this temperature.
Troubleshooting
Pocket is not sealing properly.
Ensure the pressure closure is clean and free from dust or debris. Press firmly along the entire edge to ensure a secure seal.
Document is difficult to insert or remove.
Ensure you are not exceeding the two-sheet capacity. Avoid forcing the document; gently slide it into the pocket.
Cable ties are not holding the pocket securely.
Check the surface you are attaching to; ensure it is stable. Consider using alternative mounting methods if cable ties are insufficient for the environment.
Information inside is still getting wet.
Verify that the pressure closure is fully engaged. Ensure the pocket is not submerged in water, as it is designed for protection against water jets, not full immersion.
