Review on HASHI Self Adhesive Laminating Sheets (20 Sheets) – No Machine, No Heat, Letter Size (9x12 Inch): Effortless Pouches for Instant Protection by Amber Perez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good for making stickers

I bought these laminating sheets to use for laminating the stickers I make with Cricut. When I first opened the package, the film was actually a lot thicker than I expected, which bothered me a bit at first as I thought it made the stickers inflexible. But after trying it I really like the thickness of the material. I have a very thin, glossy laminate film that I've been mentally comparing this product to. My glossy laminate is prone to wrinkling and blistering very easily and this film hasn't given me that problem and I don't expect it ever will. In my opinion, the transparency of the foil is very good and the colors of the sticker can still shine through. I always scrape the film vigorously with a Cricut scraper to make sure it really sticks to the paper and I get the best definition. The reason I deducted a star is because Cricut doesn't cut through this film. plus sticker paper all the way which is a bit of a hassle. For online labels, I use matte inkjet sticker paper, which is a bit like card stock. I have to manually slide some of the stickers out of the paper when I pick them up from the mat, which takes me a few extra minutes being careful not to tear the backing of the sticker. The Cricut settings I use for cutting are posterboard+. I'm not sure, if I can go "higher". I need to investigate. Also, another "caution" for Cricut users is that I now have a lot of small bleeds because I have to constantly measure and cut these sheets to just fit in the print and cut area and not obscure the scan lines otherwise the machine is not registered. Disc. However, this is not the fault of the product itself, just something to keep in mind when using Cricut. All in all this is a great product. Thick, no bubbles, with good adhesion and lots of sheets you get great value for money. Just something to keep in mind when using Cricut.
