What is the difference between 3 mil and 5 mil? Is it the thickness? How thick are these? I want to laminate cards to put in my wallet.

Yes that is the difference. 3 mil is your standard kind of lightweight. Paper or cardstock laminated with 3 will still be flexible. 5 mil is heavier and final project will be more rigid, more like what you would see on a laminated ID tag that hangs from a lanyard. If you carry much in your wallet, a group of items laminated with 5 might get pretty thick.

The difference is in thickness. If you want near credit card weight you need the 5 mil. I print on card stock and laminate with 3 mil and it is similar to my health insurance card in flexibility and weight.

The only difference is maybe the thickness of the two after it's laminated. One might be sturdier than the other as far as holding up for a longer period.

They are W: 2.5 inches and L: 3.5 inches which makes them slightly larger than an ordinary deck. They are, however, of high quality and quite durable. Some of the picture cards on larger decks are overwhelming which makes them difficult to use, but this is not the case here. We use them for bridge at a retirement center 2-3 times a week, and residents here prefer these cards over the others in our cache.

These are the thicknesses of the pouches. The 5 mil is thicker than a 3 mil.

Well, yes before you laminate them they are. They are a smooth plastic. They also have a lot of static before you laminate them so it's hard to get the paper in just right, but you are going to get that with any laminating pouch. (believe me, I've tried them ALL, I order these for work and we go through TONS of them.) I have bought cheap pouches before from other places and these are good ones. When they say 5 mil they are actually 5 mil. (I've had them not be from other places) and they laminate well. They're nice and clear. No yellow-ish tint. This is the best price I have found for good laminating sheets. I hope that helps!

6" x 4"; approx 1/2" thick. So if this helps you any ... it's 1-inch higher and wider than a 3x5 index card.

Yes they are about the size of a business card. Approximately 2 3/4" by 1 1/4". No one in my family complains about the sizes though. My family ranges from 5 to 65 years old!What I do, instead of shuffling, I make about 5 piles of the cards, that way when someone buys a route, the same colors are not all together. I know if my husband answered this, he would tell you the mathematical way to do it, I just wing it!

These appear to be about the same thickness as my 65# cardstock. Hope that helps.

The circle on the box is a sticker with an initial on it. I am getting married but instead of the initial I am going to put a "thank you" sticker on it. I am going to buy them from Walmart, Micheals or somewhere. As far as thickness, I would say you can compare them to cardstock. They are a little "flimsy" but when you wrap the ribbon and charm around it, it is fine.. Overall, I am satisfied with the purchase and it is a heck of a deal and "A LOT" cheaper than some other places I've look. ALSO, THE PLACE CARD TABS DO NOT COME WITH IT. (going to walmart for those.) Hope this helps you.

The label on the package of this cardstock states "110/199 g/m2" (Basis) and "26.44 M" (M weight). I'm not sure what that means but this is not what you'd want if you were trying to make business cards. You'd want something stiffer or thicker. I use it as a cover for books and that application works well. In fact, it is about the same thickness as the cover of a paperback book. It's not shiny on one side. It's matte and smooth (but not slick) on both sides.

My girlfriend and I each have one. She sold me on hers and that is why I bought one. We have never double laminated with it. I buy the Scotch Thermal Laminating Pouches to replace the one I need. They are great. We laminate alot of things for her classroom Her centers and etc. The do not curl or roll up. I do not know if they make thicker pockets. I hope this help . I would not want to jam my purple cow if it was too thick. What are you laminating that it needs to be that thick?

Hello Ms. Harris; You are correct, there is no thickness number on the packaging. The laminating sheets I use are LS854-25G, clear front and back. The following are accurate dimensions. The clear base sheet (with adhesive) measures 3.5 mil. The transparent cover sheet is 6.5 mil thick giving a total of 10 mil. If the thickness is important, do not forget to add the thickness of the item you are sealing. Hope this helps.Charlie

I don't have a measurement for you, but they are about double thickness of a piece of cardstock and they work wonderfully. I use them to wrap my plates, cups, and crafts that I make. Nice and cushy to keep them safe.

Explaining Paper Thickness vs. WeightCover/Card Stock varies in thickness and weight. For example, a 10 pt card is 0.010 inches (0.254 mm) thick (roughly corresponding to a weight of 250 grams per square meter); a 12 pt card is 0.012 inches (0.3048 millimeters).

Yes, it's just little bigger than a credit card but thickness will depend on how many cards you put inside.

the cards are about the same weight as index cards, and are slightly textured, but doesn't interfere with writing on it...the envelopes are just regular weight envelopes...hope that helps...

Hi Lovelylady,Thank you for your inquiry!Manufacturer states that they can use card stock as long as the paper is no thicker than 11 mils. Some of the papers in our catalog will state the mil thickness.BisonOffice
