What does “mic” mean in relation to laminating pouches?
“Mic” stands for micron (micrometre) and is a unit of measurement corresponding to 1/1000 of a millimetre. In the context of laminating pouches, it refers to the thickness of the pouch.
What is the difference between laminating pouches with 2 x 80 mic, 2 x 100 mic and 2 x 125 mic?
The different values relate to the thickness of the laminating pouch. The “2 x” part describes the pouch form: laminating pouches have an upper side and an underside which are each 80 / 100 / 125 mic thick. Different pouch thicknesses are suitable for different applications.
- 2 x 80 mic is the perfect choice for protecting documents. As these pouches are not very thick, they form a thin protective film on your documents. Laminating pouches with 2 x 80 mic are used to laminate photos or documents in order to preserve colours or information.
- 2 x 100 mic is perfect for sealing documents that are used often. This pouch thickness provides greater protection from external influences.
- Pouches with a thickness of 2 x 125 mic not only seal your documents but additionally make them sturdier. These pouches offer the highest level of protection and are ideal for frequently used or thicker materials such as signs or menus.
For which applications should I use laminating pouches in 2 x 80 mic?
Laminating pouches in this thickness are ideal for documents you want to seal with a protective film, such as certificates, photos or posters. They offer protection from dust and moisture but preserve a certain flexibility in the documents.
When should I use laminating pouches in 2 x 100 mic?
If you want long-lasting protection for frequently used documents such as timetables, flash cards or instructions, laminating pouches in 2 x 100 mic are an excellent choice. This thickness seals your documents more effectively and provides additional protection from wear and tear as well as stains.
For which use cases should I choose laminating pouches in 2 x 125 mic?
Especially thick laminating pouches in 2 x 125 mic are suitable specifically for thicker materials or documents that are subject to significant strain, such as signs, ID cards or menus. These laminating pouches will not only protect your documents from wear and tear but also make them sturdier.
