Laminating items is a great way to protect and preserve them. But what about when you're not around your laminator? Or what do you do if you don't have one? GBC has designed Self Seal Pouches for those instances. Using one of these pouches, you can laminate anywhere, anytime without needing a machine. Simply peel and seal; it's that simple. These are great for photos and other heat sensitive materials. Here is a brief overview of their offerings.
Framed PhotoPop Pouches. These are a great way to dress up and enhance a photograph. They are 5" by 9" so a regular 4" by 6" photo fits perfectly. The edges are filled with fun, themed designs while a see through window displays the picture. Each kit includes three frames, three envelopes, and refrigerator magnets. This gives you the tools you need to create photo cards for a friend or relative. Or you can simply use the self seal pouch to decorate the picture and use the magnets to display it on your own refrigerator. You can choose between six different themes: Baby, Springtime Bees, Sport, Scrapbook, Vacation, and Birthday.
Permanent Laminating Pouches. These also offer peel and stick application, making them easy to apply. Permanent Laminating Pouches come in a variety of sizes, most of which offer 8mil coating; the letter size pouches are only 3mil. They are great for protecting items while on the go, be it business materials or school documents. If you don't have a laminator, this is a great way to preserve your children's artwork, save newspaper clippings, or protect photos. These pouches come in the following sizes: wallet card, both horizontal and vertical ID badge, 4" by 6" photo, luggage tag pouches with loops, and letter size.
Repositionable Laminating Pouches. Applying these is also as easy as peel and stick. However, with repositionable adhesive, you can seal and reseal until you get the exact look. That can include positioning the laminate in the correct spot but, more importantly, it gives you the opportunity to smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles before they become permanent. These pouches, like the others, are acid free and archival safe. This means that your photos and documents won't yellow with age from acid in the laminate. These include both wallet and business card size, which are only slightly different. Photo size pouches in both gloss and matte finishes come in a 4" by 6" size. Specific Photo Saver pouches are also in a 4" by 6" size with a gloss finish. Gloss finishes are also available in both a 5" by 7" size and standard letter size. A No Mistakes letter size is available; it offers the added benefit of repositioning up to 24 hours later. Letter size Peel-N-Stick, Framed, and Sheets are also available. Finally, you can get Customizable Laminated Presentation Folders as well as a 16" by 10' Laminating Roll.
Overall, GBC Self Seal Pouches offer a wide variety of laminating options. Whether you want to add some pizzazz to your materials or you're simply looking to preserve them without using a laminator, GBC has an option for you. Check them out for your next project today!
