Menu-size laminating pouch

Clear Business Source 20856 pouches protect documents measuring 12 by 18 inches with a short-side seal. Each box contains 50 pouches made from transparent material that shows the contents without distortion. The 5 mil thickness gives a medium-weight feel suitable for items handled regularly. Offices, restaurants and schools use them for menus, photos and recipe cards.

Sustained handling performance

Medium-weight construction resists bending and folding during repeated filing or posting. The sealed short edge keeps the pouch aligned through multiple passes in a standard laminator. Clear film maintains legibility after frequent handling without clouding or peeling. Designed for moderate daily use rather than heavy industrial throughput.

Upgrade from lighter pouches

Replaces 3 mil or thinner sleeves when documents crease or tear during routine handling. The step up to 5 mil is worth it for menus, signage or reference sheets that are wiped, filed or carried often. Not intended for archival-grade preservation or continuous high-volume lamination runs. Buyers needing larger formats or heavier gauge film should select a different specification.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the laminator generate when running these 5 mil pouches all day?

The pouches themselves produce no heat; only the laminator does, and its output depends on the machine model you use.

What laminator specs are required to seal these 12-1/8" x 18" 5 mil pouches?

You need a laminator that accepts at least 12-1/8" width and has a 5 mil temperature setting.

Will these 5 mil pouches work in an older laminator that only handles 3 mil film?

No, a 3 mil-only machine cannot reach the temperature needed for 5 mil pouches.
