PBS Connect Laminating film A3 2x80 µm glossy (100 sheets) is a transparent hot-lamination pouch designed for protecting A3-sized documents, photos, certificates and signage. Each pouch consists of two 80 µm layers (total thickness 160 µm) and a glossy surface that enhances color saturation and provides a smooth finish. The product is intended for use with standard A3 pouch laminators in offices, print shops, educational institutions and other environments where durable, water-resistant laminated media are required.
Advantages
The glossy A3 laminating film gives printed material improved resistance to moisture, dirt and handling wear while preserving image clarity and color vibrancy. With 100 transparent pouches per pack, it supports medium to high-volume laminating jobs and reduces the need for frequent restocking. The two-layer 80 µm structure yields a firm, professional-feeling finish suitable for displays and frequently handled documents.
Suitable for
- Laminating A3 documents and certificates
- Protecting photos, posters and educational materials
- Creating durable signage and point-of-sale displays
- Office, school and print shop laminating tasks
When it may not be suitable
This product is designed for hot pouch laminators; it is not suitable for cold lamination systems or thermal rollers requiring different pouch specifications. Very small or irregularly shaped items that cannot be placed flat inside a pouch may not laminate evenly, and extremely heat-sensitive media or adhesives could be affected by hot lamination.
Key specifications
- Size: A3
- Film structure: two layers of 80 µm (total 160 µm)
- Finish: glossy, transparent
- Pack quantity: 100 pouches
- Intended use: hot pouch lamination
How to use
Place the document centrally between the two film sheets to form a pouch, ensuring edges are aligned and no dust or debris are trapped. Preheat a compatible A3 pouch laminator according to the machine's recommended temperature for a 160 µm pouch. Feed the sealed edge first into the laminator to reduce wrinkling and allow the unit to pull the pouch through at the correct speed. After laminating, allow the pouch to cool flat before trimming the edges if necessary. Follow laminator manufacturer guidelines for temperature and warm-up times to achieve consistent results.
What to consider before purchase
- Compatibility with your A3 hot pouch laminator and its supported pouch thickness
- Desired finish: glossy surface enhances color but may produce reflections
- Intended usage frequency to choose suitable pack size (100 sheets per pack)
- Whether laminated items need additional cutting or edge sealing after lamination
Usage recommendations
For best results, use clean, dry originals and a laminator calibrated for 160 µm pouches; feed pouches sealed edge first and allow laminated sheets to cool on a flat surface to prevent curling.
