I have used lots of clear contact paper in the past, but I have never had the paper backing be so difficult to remove! It was difficult to even remove 2-3 inches without the paper ripping and separating into layers--leaving an impossible-to-remove thin layer of paper on the adhesive. I am sooo disappointed! This is acting like a really old roll of masking tape. I spent way too much for a huge roll of useless contact paper!

The Avery laminating roll really did the trick. I had to laminate (double-sided) an 8 1/2" x 11", a 16" x 19", three 11" x 14", and 22" x 28" inch posters, all ranging from copy paper to sketch paper to poster board. All of them were precious original artwork. The grid made it easy to measure and cut. And the actual lamination sheet had great adhesive -- It stuck well, but if I had to remove and reposition it, it didn't rip or crinkle the paper. It had amazingly good results. A lot cheaper to do than paying an office center to laminate for $3 a square foot. Now I can laminate practically anything for less than a fraction of the commercial cost!

It's very easy to use. Simply measure and cut your segment, and then separate the plastic from the paper. (This is a little tricky, and I recommend kneading a corner with your fingernails until the plastic is separated.) After this, simply peel it off and apply onto your surface. Then smooth out to rid of wrinkles and air bubbles. (I did this on a kitchen counter, seeing it was a hard and completely flat surface.) Then fold the edges over. If you want a double-sided effect, simply repeat the process on the other side, and then cut away any edges. (I like to leave a 1/8" margin.)

What I would recommend this to anyone who wants to laminate in large loads without the large bill.

Someone gave me a left over piece of laminate which worked beautifully. The paper peeeled off cleanly, the plastic was thick and strong.And the name Avery was on the back. So I looked up Avery on line and ordered my own roll. It is defective. It won't peel off, paper tears, plastic tears.All the rolling tricks don't work. I WANT TO RETURN IT AND GET A ROLL WHICH HAS THE QUALITY I EXPECTED BUT DON'T KNOW HOW. Maybe the original product is good but quality control is lousy and I am ruining my art pieces trying to deal with it. Judith

My husband and I tried together to laminate large posters. It took us hours, and it was so difficult to line the laminate to the poster, and to avoid bubbles as you go! Out of 10 posters we double laminated, may be 3 came out nice. The rest was ok to horrible!

This product suits probably smaller projects, but I haven't touched it since, so I could not confirm that!

Purchased this role of laminate for our school. We laminate atlases & paper back books, etc... to have them last longer. When you attempt to separate the clear laminate from backing, it tears randomly and does not come clean off backing. Terrible quality.

The backing is very difficult to remove. The quality of the pouch is not really good. I can't even success one good picture laminate (with a lot of spend time). It's very hard to laminate anything large because it always happen to get rip when you separate the backing.

I really like this. The grid on the back is great and the roll is wide enough that you can laminate a variety of larger sized things with one swath. It is only one sided, but you can make it double sided by cutting two pieces and sticking them together. Wish it didn't have that seam down the bottom two inches. It makes for easier removal of the backing, but you can also see it ever so slightly.

This fully covers a poster and is pretty easy to use. Much less than going to the copy store and paying for lamination.

If you are looking for a cheap an easy way to laminate large oversized things this works great. I laminated (10) 24x17 sheets, I missed up one but the rest came out great and took about an hour. As long as no pressure is applied you can pick part of your paper up and re-adjust but you can not take the whole thing up. It was a third of the price that an office store was going to charge me. Amazon had the cheapest price on this item that I could find.

I use this material to laminate signs that are made on full-size poster board sheets. These signs need to be reasonably weatherproof. I cut the laminate longer than the poster board and fold over the excess. Then place another piece on the back to cover the ends. I have used this for years with good success. Only once did I get a roll that the backing was hard to peel off. For anything thinner than poster board however, this is not a good choice.
