Use our Sticky Back Laminating Pouches to easily hang a sign or create a counter mat display!
TruLam sticky-back thermal laminating pouches are compatible with all popular laminating machine models, including laminators from TruLam, Akiles, Sircle, Tamerica, Banner, Purple Cows GBC, Fellowes, and Scotch. These laminating sheets are made of high-quality, high-clarity laminating film and premium adhesive resins for crystal clear laminated documents.
Sticky-back laminating pouches are standard thermal laminating pouches with an adhesive (decal) back protected by a release liner as it passes through a machine. When the release liner is peeled off, the laminated item can be applied to a flat surface like a wall or countertop.
How to Use a Sticky Back Laminating Pouch:
- Simply insert your document or printed graphics into the laminating pouch as usual.
- Run the pouch through your laminator at the appropriate activation temperature.
- When the pouch is cool, peel off the release liner to stick your newly laminated sign or image onto a flat surface!
Helpful Tips
Helpful Tips
- Not every laminator requires carrier sheets. As a general guideline, laminators that use silicone rollers do not need a carrier sheet (refer to the operation manual for your specific machine). However, we still include carrier sheets with all pouches. Carriers protect pouches from scratches, and protect your laminator from any excess adhesive oozing out. They also prevent small pouches from wrapping around the rollers and causing jams.
- Leave a minimum border of 1/8". This ensures a lasting seal. Trimming the pouch flush to the insert document will expose the edges of the paper and will lead to delamination over time.
- Ideal for use on prints with light-to-medium ink coverage. For other documents that have medium-to-full coverage or are printed with oil-based toners, we recommend digital roll laminating film, which offers a more aggressive adhesive and activates at a lower temperature to protect prints from heat damage.
- Coming out cloudy? Working in small increments, increase the laminating temperature in stages until the pouch is completely clear and flat. You can run a cloudy pouch through your laminator more than once in order to fully activate the adhesive without damaging the pouch or the insert document.
- Coming out warped/wavy? The temperature is set too high and needs to be decreased. After adjusting the temperature, allow the laminator to cool for a few minutes to ensure that it has reached the specified temperature before inserting a new pouch.

What temperature should I use?
What temperature should I use?
This information is supplied as a general guideline. Quite often, the laminating temperature will vary depending upon the type of material you are laminating, the accuracy of your machine's thermostat, and many other factors.
As a general rule, start with a medium temperature. If the pouch still looks cloudy after running it through your machine, laminate it at a slightly higher temperature, and then repeat this process until the pouch is clear. If the temperature is too hot, the pouch will warp, have ripples or have heat bubbles.
