Review Summary

The negative reviews of this product are intemperate and largely unjustified. The sheets are fairly simple to use, though one must be careful to remove BOTH white strips before the adhesion process. Otherwise one wastes a sheet, and they aren't cheap.The Procrustean structure of this comments page gets a negative review from me, however, because it requires filling in all the fields and hence forces an opinion when you may have none. Thus I filled these fields in randomly, because I will not allow anyone to dictate the content of my response.

I wish I would have read reviews before purchase. "Easy" directions were very deceiving. Not one of the sheets were useable. Total waste of money. Both laminate sheet and backing were so thin they could not be separated tearing both at the same time. According to the easy online video to remove the paper backing there is a tab that you remove then pull down the laminate sheet. There is NO tab.

Does not come with clear directions for application. Directions saw to log onto fellowes.com to get video instructions. Cannot locate video instructions on website.

Very easy to use and it works great. I actually used it for both sides. Using a ruler is a must, so have that ready.

From the packing that states that video instructions are available on the website, to the ease of use, this product fails miserably. I was expecting a laminating option that would allow me to see both sides of a document.

I found this product very easy to use. I did need to watch the 52 second video to see exactly how to do it. Using a ruler was key. The laminating sheets did NOT bubble or crease at all. Remember one sheet of paper requires two laminating sheets. very pleased with this product

I got fellowes self-adhesive sheets thinking there was two sides of glossyness to the sheet. if your gonna laminate you want both sides to be glossy, right? So if your looking for a good laminate sheet this is not it, you will get a clear sheet of tape for your project and thats it. If there was two sides to this sheet I would have given this product 5 stars.

This product worked perfectly the first time and so far every time I have used it. I do not understand the negative reviews. I had no trouble with it at all. No bubbles or creases. Just perfect, smooth adhesion every time. There is a video online, but it was a little hard to find. It suggested using a ruler to help smooth it on, but I didn't need the ruler. It went on perfectly with my hand. Peel off the strip at the top, place the edge of the item against it, turn it over, peel the paper off, and smooth it down. This was exactly what I needed.

I should have read a review before purchasing this item. I was a bit skeptical, instructions on the package were vague to say the least. The package did say that there were video instructions at www.fellowes.com, which gave me a bit more confidence so I bought the product. Well, I have been unable to find any "video instructions" on your web site. I tried using the product to laminate an 8.5 x 11 photo. Despite taking extreme care to try to avoid bubbles and voids, the results were awful and unusable. I want my money back. Let me know where I can send a copy of my receipt.

I agree with all the other bad comments plus had there been any valid instructions on the package I would never had wasted my money on these. What good is a lamination when it is only one side. No where that I saw does it say you need two sheets to do a lamination.

This product does not deserve all the bad reviews it has gotten! It works just fine if you take your time while placing your photo/paper/etc. Yes, the instructions are a little vague but it is not rocket science and it is very easy to figure out how to do it! This is a great product if you need to laminate something in a hurry and don't have time to go to a Kinkos or Office Depot. I reccommend it!

I bought these after reading the reviews and I must say that I am very disappointed in this product. I would not buy these again, nor would I recommend these to anyone. The product description states that you can laminate one or both sides of a document, but it fails to mention that you will have to use two sheets if you want to laminate the front and back. Additionally the instructions that are on the back of the box are very unclear and are only pictures. I will Be returning these and not purchasing this brand again.

I purchased a Saturn 95 laminator at Staples which is very nice. It is supposed to do cold laminating, so I decided to give it a try. On the advice of the sales clerk at Staples, I bought a 50 pack of these Fellowes self-adhesive laminating sheets. The clerk said these are what should be used for cold lamination with a laminator. The instructions on how to use them are only a few pictures on the box, nothing more. No mention of how to use them with a laminator! So I ditched the idea of using them with my new laminator. First I tried to affix a photo and smooth it out by hand which resulted in the photo being ruined. You do not get a second chance with these. It is beyond me how it is possible to get a smooth application of these sheets on anything. I hope Staples will take them back; if not, then I will be out $30+.

when using the self-adhesive product the air bubbles are numerous. I have ruined numerous photos with this product.

Twice I have purchased the Self-Adhesive sheets.Twice I have been sorely disappointed in the difficulty in using this product. Half the sheets are scored for easy removal of the backing paper & half are not. It is virtually immpossible to separate the backing from the laminating sheet. Did anyone there try to use this product before production? This makes the product twice as expensive as only half the sheets are usable. I hope this will be corrected. As of now, I will no longer purchase this product. Please try to rectify this situation.

I wish I had read reviews before buying this product; honestly, who reads reviews on laminating sheets before buying them anyways? I came to the website to see if there were instructions for how to best use this product. After reading the reviews and without finding any instructions I realize I've just wasted my money and the cardstock that I was laminating. I misunderstood the packaging and believed I was getting sheets that would laminate both sides; instead it requires two sheets. The design is poor and instructions nonexistent.

I bought product because I own a paper shredder made by Fellowes and thought it was a good company But I was wrong No clear instructions ,handling the sheets is difficult and clarity of the sheets is poor

I've been looking for a laminator for years. Today, I went to buy one and found these self adhesive sheets, thinking, hey, easy, less to store, etc. Well, the design is terrible. They should use "crack and Peel" backing. It's impossible to get the backing off. Returned to the store. And it changed my view of the Fellowes Brand.
