Cracked Glass Holographic Laminate, 12x12 Self-Adhesive Sticker Laminate Vinyl for Cricut, Stickers, Trading Cards, Photos, Paper, Planners, Journals by Turner Moore Edition (Transparent, 5-Pack)

I didn't use this adhesive laminate for its traditional purpose, but it worked wonderful anyway! Given the fact that we wanted a larger travel trailer but didn't have the "heavyweight" towing capacity, we had to opt for a lightweight variant to get the 32'. Now, anyone who's ever bought one of these "lightweight" versions will tell you that "light" materials in a travel trailer equate to "cheap and fragile" interior furnishings (because - well - hardwood is quite heavy). So, basically, all of our doors, cabinets, etc. are made of ths plywood-like material that's covered in a "wood-look" contact-type paper that doesnt wrap fully around the surface (thus giving free edges to "catch")... so when met by the everyday hard use of camping, it easily scratches, peels, or just wears away.It took me forever to find something that would make the edges more durable AND have a matte finish, but - finally - I came across this product! It's thick, durable, and provides great protection against scratches! I did do a small "patch test" to see how obvious the final outcome may be... and I just want to say DON'T DO THAT if you're working with the kind of surface I'm working with, as the paper covering used on TT furnishings will peel right off upon removal! That having been said, there was a great deal of time and planning (position, alignment, etc.) that went into my application process (one mess up would be catastrophic for the original surface). But I'm not new to applying self adhesive materials (adhesive vinyls have been one of my random hobbies for years), so I went on with it anyway.Either way, it was totally worth it! You can hardly tell that it's there and it gives the added the layer of protection that I was really hoping for! I added some pictures of the pantry door that I did today, but I've had two of the hanging barn-style doors done for a couple weeks now and they're holding up perfect!On a separate note, I was a bit worried about the "bubbles" that I'd seen in some other reviews. Like I said before, I have some experience with adhesive materials and these are NOT true bubbles (they dont move or require puncture to flatten). I don't know if the glue just requires firm spreading or if my surface material was just a bit uneven, but the bubble-like look disappears easily when firmly spread with a narrow surface edge after you're done with the initial smoothing (the rounded corner of a smoothing tool or a thumbnail works just fine, just use short, firm, scraping motions; unlike other materials I've use in the past, this material easily handles this kind of abuse without any visible evidence whatsoever). I also added a before and after picture of the results from this added step.Either way, I am super happy with the outcome and will definitely apply this to future new TT's before even using them!

Just right.

Easy to apply and use for my stickers. High quality. I order this on a regular basis and is great for stickers.

When purchased the product description made claims about UV protection. My daughter makes stickers. Before allowing her to make and sell stickers that people might use outdoors, I wanted to test the claims of the maker/seller. I committed fully to this. Printed out artwork from Tolkien on waterproof sticker paper, laminated it with this, then cut it out using her Silhouette Cameo, which doesn't require a subscription like that other brand. I then promptly applied it to the rear window on my F150. We live in the uppermost northern U.S. (think north of the South-Eastern U.S./Canadian border, but not quite as far north as Duluth). The truck is rear-wheel drive, so it sits in a garage from November to April. The sticker has never been out in the sun longer than eight hours, and that's pretty rare. Usually, it's only in the sun as long as it takes to pick up groceries or take my kids somewhere. It stays garaged whenever we are at home. So, all-in-all, a fairly light usage/exposure situation compared to conceivable uses/exposures. Because of local geography, the seasons, and our schedules, the rear of the truck rarely faces directly toward the sun for long periods of time (think sunrise or sunset).The pictures are from today. The sticker was applied shortly after purchase last year. After 1 week of average vehicle use last summer (purchased in July, 2022), the solid black of the sticker was beginning to slightly brown. After the first rainfall, I was pleasantly surprised that the entire thing didn't completely deteriorate--due in part to the waterproof/resistant sticker paper. However, because I stuck it on next to the lower lip of the window, it wicked water up through the bottom. It didn't ruin the sticker, but it's worth mentioning because some people might not like the way it looked afterward. I cannot say whether the failure is due to the waterproof paper, the laminate, the positioning on the window, or my application, which I think was fine. I see that the upper central area appears to retain a darker color, but I don't believe that this was caused by poor seal or water infiltration as it was not exposed to rain until after it had begun to brown.It is difficult to use at first, but with practice it gets easier. Patience is the key. Also, a clean, well-lit workspace, and a straight-edge ruler with some elbow grease can help fix any issues before they get out of hand. Print the stickers on your sticker sheet of choice. Measure a length of laminate (cross-wise to the paper seems best in our case), and hold it taught between your hands while someone else cuts it. Then align with paper and slowly peel while the other person wipes away all bubbles/wrinkles with firm pressure, pushing away from leading edge of laminate. When done, trim away excess laminate before cutting stickers (either with scissors or Silhouette/similar device).One positive--someone tried to remove the sticker from the window. I think they thought it was a cling. They bent up the edge with their finger before abandoning the attempt. I believe that the laminate not only kept it from tearing, but also helped prevent it from being easily peeled away. See pics. It's the small area to the upper left of the sticker, shown at an angle.For outdoors, I'm not crazy about the results, and I wouldn't consider these to have any sort of adequate UV protection for something like a sticker where the colors matter in the long term. For professional sales, I'm not that enthusiastic. That's too bad, but it's good they removed that claim from the description. However, for indoor sticker use? I'd say it works great. It could be okay, maybe, if it were shielded from direct sunlight while outdoors. Will I purchase it again? Not sure. If it can't be exposed to the sun, not sure it's worth the money. FWIW, the sticker in the pics was exposed to every sort of weather that the Great White North has to offer. Maybe if the ink were more durable/resistant, then the laminate would be perfect.

Great value. I am using this to add a protective layer to my book covers before creating a hardcover book case (bookbinding). I’ve had issues with previous covers printed on photo paper cracking and creasing when casing in, this completely solves the problem and prevents future wear when reading. I apply very slowly with a ruler to avoid bubbling. Laminate looks okay, but it’s obvious it’s not evenly applied and there are some distracting marks (probably small scale not an issue, but obvious on an 11x17 photo paper). Then, I use an iron to quickly smooth over the entire thing, blending the laminate seamlessly with the cover paper. Very very slight dulling affect but doesn’t degrade photo quality and change color saturation. Matte feels nice to the touch and unobtrusive to the design. Prefer this to thermal laminate because the adhesive anchors laminate to paper, I hate feeding a laminate through and having it shift around. Unfortunately cannot speak to durability at this time.

Cannot recommend enough for finishing vinyl stickers. There are others but none like this. I’ve tried many different options, but they all fail. Don’t look anywhere else, these give your stickers a very professional feel. I will not order anything else but these.

MY ALL TIME FAVORITE TO LAMINATE MY STICKERS

These worked well, but I think there is better quality elsewhere. The clarity and color is fine, it comes in a big size and has ease of tear, but again, I like other brands.
