I absolutely love my scotch laminator. I use it in my classroom to preserve my classroom decorations, file folders games, task box activities,busy bags, etc. Since I work with 4 year olds, hands tend to bend things, hands are dirty, things sometimes go in mouths and so on, these laminating pouches wipe off great and is thick enough to prevent too much damage from happening. I love the thickness of the laminating pouches, however I do find the pouches to be a little pricey since I pay for this out of my pocket instead of going through the school.  I am very excited to share this with my co-teachers!!!
