FAQs

What is the difference between 80 micron and 125 micron pouches?

80 micron pouches are thinner and more flexible, suitable for everyday items. 125 micron pouches are thicker and more rigid, offering greater durability and protection for frequently handled or important documents.

Can I use these pouches with a cold laminator?

No, these are designed for hot lamination machines. Cold lamination pouches have a self-adhesive strip and do not require heat.

How should I store unused laminating pouches?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to maintain their adhesive quality and prevent them from sticking together.

Can I trim the edges after laminating?

Yes, you can trim the edges of the laminated document to create a custom size or shape, as long as you leave a small sealed border to maintain the integrity of the lamination.

What is the maximum document size for an A6 pouch?

An A6 pouch is designed to fit documents up to 105 x 148 mm (4.1 x 5.8 inches).

How do I clean a laminated document?

You can wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the gloss finish.

Are these pouches recyclable?

Laminating pouches are typically made of plastic (polyester) and are not widely recyclable through standard municipal recycling programs. It's best to dispose of them responsibly.

Troubleshooting

Pouch is not sealing properly or is cloudy

Ensure your laminator is fully heated to the correct temperature for 80-micron pouches. Check that the pouch is inserted correctly and the sealed edge goes in first. Make sure there are no obstructions or debris on the laminator rollers.

Document is wrinkling or bubbling

The laminator temperature may be too high or too low. Try adjusting the temperature setting. Ensure the document is flat within the pouch and that the pouch is not overloaded. Clean laminator rollers if they appear dirty.

Pouch jams in the laminator

Immediately turn off the laminator and carefully try to remove the pouch following your laminator's specific instructions for jam removal. Do not force it. Ensure you are using the correct pouch size and thickness for your machine.

Edges of the document are not sealed

Ensure there is sufficient border space around the document within the pouch for a proper seal. Check that the laminator is reaching the correct temperature across the entire width of the pouch.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

These pouches are designed for use with hot lamination machines only. Ensure your laminator is set to the appropriate temperature for 80-micron pouches. They are compatible with most standard A6 hot laminators.

Setup:

  1. Select the appropriate GBC A6 laminating pouch from the pack.
  2. Carefully insert your document into the pouch, ensuring it is centered and there is a small border around the document to allow for sealing.
  3. Check that the document is placed correctly within the pouch before proceeding.
  4. Feed the sealed edge of the pouch into your heated laminating machine.
  5. Allow the laminated document to cool completely before handling.

Care:

  • Store unused pouches in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature sealing or degradation.
  • Keep the pouches clean and free from dust or debris before use.
  • After lamination, clean the laminated document with a soft, damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
