Other Sizes Comparison ChartLaminating pouches are 1.5, 3, 5, 7, 10 or 15 mils thick. The mil weight is expressed per side; therefore, the total weight of the film has to be doubled. For example, a 3-mil pouch has two sheets of 3-mil film plus your document (regular bond paper is 4 mil) for a total aggregate of 10 mils.
