3M TP5851100 Thermal Laminating Pouches 5 Mil 100 Pack

Product Description

The 3M TP5851100 is a pack of 100 business card size thermal laminating pouches designed for use with thermal laminators. Each pouch applies a clear, permanent seal that protects frequently handled documents from moisture, tearing, and general wear. At 5 mil thickness, the finished laminate provides a firm, rigid feel suitable for cards that see regular handling. The pouches are transparent, allowing all printed text and graphics to remain fully visible after sealing. This product is well suited for office environments, trade shops, and service businesses that need to laminate reference cards, ID cards, contact cards, or similar small documents on a recurring basis.

These pouches fit standard business card dimensions and are intended for use with thermal laminator machines that accept pouch-style media. Typical applications include laminating technician certification cards, job site reference cards, emergency contact cards, and customer-facing business cards. The sealed pouch format is a one-time, permanent process and is not intended for repositionable or temporary applications. The 100-count pack is appropriate for moderate-volume laminating tasks in an office, print shop, or field service operation.

Installation Notes

Feed pouches into the thermal laminator with the sealed edge entering first to prevent jamming and ensure an even seal. Allow the laminator to reach full operating temperature before processing pouches. Do not run pouches through a laminator set above the rated temperature for 5 mil media, as excessive heat can cause bubbling or warping. Freshly laminated pouches should be placed on a flat surface to cool before handling.
