Laminating pouch weights
(thicknesses):
The term "Mils"
is a measurement of the thickness, or weight, of a laminating pouch.
Each side of a laminating pouch pocket has it's own mil weight.
A 5 mil pouch has a total weight of 10 mils. The higher the mil
weight, the more rigid the final laminated document.
In both hot and cold
lamination, the thicker the film or pouch, the stiffer and more
durable the laminated item will be.
