The first thickness out of five to choose from are the 1.5mil. These are the thinnest laminating pouches available, and it is important to not that most of the machines do not support this thickness. This thickness is going to provide minimal protection but is still easy to bend and crease.
The second thickness available is 3.1mil. This size is often the size that is used for big documents. This thickness will protect your laminating pouches, but this size can still flex and curl.
The 5mil is a thin pouch that works very well for laminating small documents. This is a good size for creating a sturdy feeling document without having to pay the premium price.
The 7mil pouch will provide some more weight to your documents. A lot of times this thickness is used to laminate business cards and name badges.
Finally, the 10mil thickness is the thickest size available, this size offers a very rigid feel that is ideal for presentation material and professional signs.
