Will this AmazonBasics laminator work with other brand laminating pouches? Has anyone tried this for example with the smaller Scotch brand pouches?

Yes. Any 3mm or 5mm varieties will work up to the max dimension--I think about 8x11.

I bought some scotch brand laminating pouches and have used them and they seem to work great!

Any "hot" laminating sheets are supposed to work. I use the "Universal" brand ones that I bought from Amazon and they work great. There are several sizes. The one I use most often is model 84642 which are business card size.

I have not tried with scotch brand specifically but have tried 3-4 other brands and they all worked perfectly. Just be sure to buy 3mm or 5mm pouches and they should work fine.

Hello Gail E. Jordan GE; These pouches are the ones I purchased to use as you are attempting. If you measure the outside dimensions of the pouch they exceed the 8 1/2" X 11" of the paper which allows the written paper to be sealed on all 4 edges. There are 2 ways to accomplish this; 1-Print the front and back of your document on 2 pieces of paper and align them to each other and proceed as the directions state. 2-More easily, print the front and rear of the document on 1 piece of paper and do as the directions are written. This way saves paper and ink. This is an excellent Scotch product. Hope this info is helpful. Any other questions, please ask. Charlie

Yes, this is the kind of Scotch self laminating sheets I use and you can use the dry erase pens. Thanks, I had never thought of that so had to test it before I answered you. I've this on so many projects and always pleased.

I have only used scotch pouches so far, but I would think that you could use any brand.

No. You have to buy it. I bought a Scotch Termal Laminating Pouches 8.9x11.4 inches 3mil. It's about US$9 at Amazon.

yes, you can. I use it to laminate charts size 17 x 22. Therefore, something smaller definitely will work. You only need the right size laminating pouch.

I have had success cutting cards apart and other things. They have not fallen apart on me. However, I am sure it might depend on how thick the item is that you are laminating, and how your machine works. I set my machine on the 10ml setting, even though I am using 3ml sheets and it works fine for me.

It works with any of the other similar bags but I have used ziploc bags and find them vastly disappointing compared to the FoodSaver brand. I also have some Debby Meyer vacuum seal bags that seem to be better than Ziploc but I still prefer the Foodsaver as I have not yet had one single bag become unsealed after freezing where it seems the Ziploc bags are constantly unsealed! Not worth trying other brands in my opinion!

I have successfully laminated two sheets of 65lb card stock together in a pocket. One would think that if the paper were too thick the machine wouldn't accept it, but I have not experienced any problems.

I have s Scotch thermal laminator. I Googled the Swingline GBC laminator to see what it looked like. It seems to be very similar to mine. These sheets are the same size as all the other laminating sheets I've bought. If you're able to adjust the temp so it's on 5 mil if think they'd work fine.

I am currently using Scotch Thermal Laminating Pouches. They work great. I use these because I can find them at my local grocery store and for the price also. I would think any laminating pouch would be fine with this. I've made a work horse out of this machine with those pouches and haven't had a problem yet.

Yes you can use smaller pouches. We cut the large ones down and use them. The smaller works fine in the laminator.

The laminators are the same. The only difference is the size and number of pouches included.

Yes, I use them all the time. You will need a sleeve to feed it in the Laminator.

My laminator is a no name brand I bought at Aldi's for $19.99 and these pouches work excellent with it!!!

They can be fed in with out the card board carrier. I Have a scotch laminator. TL901 and I never used them. I think for the best resort is with out it .

For the thinner films (3mil) you may - However I work with mainly 5mil and sometimes 7 mil. I love my laminator as I can set at 300 degrees and can cover anything with no chance of the lamination parting. This laminator has a range of 50 degrees to way more than 300 degrees - If your lamination films work at 140 this will work for you. This laminator also works cold... taking the cover off and having the temp lower than room temperature. Hope this helps - Have a great day!
