Updated review: It was just a bad batch.
UPDATE: I took a shot and bought the 200 pack again because they were on a great deal. I had NO problems this time! I’m thinking my first pack was a bad batch. I’ve since tried the big name brand and have found very little difference between them, so I just buy whichever costs less at the time.
ORIGINAL: I bought the 100 pack twice and they were amazing. So I bought the 200 pack in an attempt to save money. Well, jokes on me. They are half the quality of the ones that were in the 100 pack. I have to run them through my laminator twice and they still peal. But now I’m stuck with nearly 200 sheets and down the money. As a teacher, I need my laminator sheets to be amazing so I can use my stuff year after year. I recommend the 100 pack, but don’t try to save money with the 200 pack. You won’t.

Great product. Same as costly brand names I've used
So glad Amazon Basics is offering this. I laminate the heck out of stuff & I had a brand name laminator & sheets but the laminator took a dump... so I got this. Had the AB laminator & theses sheets for about a year. On 2nd box of sheets & they adhere perfectly. I use the 3mm setting on the laminator but if you are doing thicker items, there is a 5mm setting as well. I typically use heavier # rating copy paper and put 2 sheets of paper in each laminating sleeve. Adheres fine with no bubbles or annoying curl. As with all sheets I've used, there is some static cling issues to deal with but some static is helpful to grip the paper when you get it centered. Only issue I'd improve is the top of the lamination sheet. Brand names typically have some sort of pre-glued portion at the top making it easier & quicker to center a typical sheet top & bottom. These have zero of that feature, You can jam your paper all the way up. For me, I'll take that lack of feature for the price & ease of using Amazon.

Great laminate sheets
These work just as well as name brand laminating sheets but they are more affordable! I am a preschool teacher so everything is laminated! I purchased an at home laminator for my classroom and my first year teaching I went through almost 600 laminate sheets. The material holds up all year long, and for several years following. When the laminate starts to come apart, I just laminate it again to save print money and paper! I will continue to purchase this brand!!

Love the value!
Bought these as backup before i ran out of the current ones i had but forgot about them. We use at our salon year round for station reminders, announcements, etc. I used to get the small 25 packs at staples cause we would only need a few at a time but thought I would give these a try. They work much better. Put them through the test this last June when we needed a lot of signs for reopening after our 12 week COVID shut down. The staple’s ones wouldn’t always seal properly or split open later and they are much more expensive. These are worth the investment. Made about 40-45 signs in one sitting and they were all perfect and still up all over the salon. They were constantly cleaned and sprayed during the day. Although the state closed us up again, they are still up.

Fantastic bang for the buck!
These are a little thinner than the traditional thick laminating sheets. I am a homeschool mom that also does teaching on the side. I have made so many different addition/subtraction fact games, matching, etc.
When I cut, laminate, cut they last longer but I have also been impressed by how long they last when I laminate, cut only.
When we use the dry erase markers on them they work very similar to the name brand.
The amount of laminating sheets we got for the price is a fantastic deal! I use my $18 Scotch laminator that I also purchased on here and it works great!

Great product at a fraction of the cost of BRAND named laminator sheets
I purchased this to use with my new laminator and the sheets work perfectly. I normally buy laminator sheets (pockets) from my local office supply store, but the cost of the local product is 3 times the cost of this product.
Having teste this product with my new laminator, the end result was excellent. I could not tell the difference in quality and usability from the BRAND name purchased at my local store.
I recommend this product for those using a laminator for ANY purpose as a means of saving money and still getting a good quality product...

Laminating sheets great for TEACHERS!
I bought these sheets because they were a littler cheaper than name brand products. I used them in a Scotch brand laminator. They worked wonderfully. I was a little skeptical being a different brand than the laminator, but every single one I used sealed very well. I ran 30 sheets through and they were all sealed. I was even able to cut them out to the edge of each card and the lamination is stuck and not peeling at all! This is great to be able to make center or station games for teachers! I highly recommend these AmazonBasics Clear Thermal Laminating Plastic Paper Sheets.

Teacher gives these 9/10
These are a really great value. If using with cardstock, they are just as good as the 3M brand. If using with regular paper they don't as sturdy, buy good enough for the value. I laminate ALL THE THINGS for my classroom so I dont have to make as many copies each year. Great savings for quality. I've tried other off brands and they curl up or distort.

Comes out clear
These are great for what I need it for, laminating flash cards for homeschooling. They have that frosted/cloudy look prior to laminating, but once they pass through the laminator they are clear. They are 3mil. This is a Great buy! I bought as a combo pack with the Amazon basics laminator and it is easy to use. Read the short manual instruction book on laminating correctly. I've had no problems.

Great product for the money - works better than more expensive alternatives!
These sheets are great. I bought a 50 pk from an office supply store of sheets and they cost me 2x's what these did and they were much thinner and continued to get caught up in the laminator, causing me to ruin things. These are slightly thicker than those were and they work great. I highly recommend them they are an excellent value for the money - my only caveat is that you should have them shipped in another box, as my box came very mangled making it difficult to use for storage.
