If you need to laminate an important document, choosing the right laminating pouch is essential. Luckily, this is easy to do. Just consider these three things:

• Consider size.  It’s important to choose a laminating pouch that will completely encapsulate your document. The pouch should be large enough to give you even borders around the document. If you use a pouch that’s a bit too large, you can easily trim the excess film with a rotary trimmer.
• Think about thickness.  You need to choose a pouch that isn’t too thick for your laminator. Pouches generally range from 3 to 10 mil thick. (A mil is 0.001^th of an inch.) Thicker pouches will give your document more protection. Check your machine’s instruction manual to find out which pouches you can use.
• Go for the finish.  Finally, you should think about the pouch’s finish. Most pouches are glossy but there are some matte ones available. Matte pouches look slightly more professional and they make the document easier to read in bright light.
