Laminator pouches Fellowes 100143436 A3 420 x 303 mm Matt Thermal 100 pcs

Fellowes 100143436 is a pack of 100 matt thermal laminator pouches sized for A3 documents (420 x 303 mm) with a 1 mm overall thickness. These pouches are formulated for use in thermal lamination systems and provide a non-reflective surface that reduces glare while protecting printed materials, photos and documents from moisture, wear and handling. The matt finish preserves legibility and colour density without a glossy sheen, making it suitable for presentations, displays and archival storage where reduced reflection is preferred.

Advantages

The pouches offer consistent heat-activated bonding designed for light duty lamination settings, delivering reliable seals and edge adhesion on a wide range of paper weights. Containing 50% recycled content (minimum 35% post-consumer and 15% pre-consumer), they reduce environmental impact while maintaining lamination performance. The matt surface provides a professional, non-reflective result that conceals fingerprints and minor surface imperfections.

Suitable for

• Protecting A3 posters, charts and educational materials
• Laminating certificates, instruction sheets and reference pages
• Preserving photographs and artwork with a non-gloss finish
• Creating durable signage and display panels for indoor use

How to use

Allow the thermal laminator to reach the manufacturer-recommended operating temperature for light duty pouches (75–80 micron equivalent). Insert the document centrally into a pouch, ensuring margins are free of debris, and feed the sealed edge into the laminator first to promote even adhesion. After lamination, allow the pouch to cool on a flat surface for a few seconds before handling to ensure the seal sets and the matt finish stabilises.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use on clean, dry paper and avoid overfilling pouches with bulky items. Store unopened packs flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain pouch flatness and performance. When laminating high-value photographs or archival materials, test a single pouch first to confirm temperature settings and surface appearance.
