Scotch Thermal Laminating Pouches, 200 Count, Clear vs Self-Adhesive Laminating Sheets, 10 mil, 120-count (various sizes)

Key Differences

Scotch (A) is a machine-ready 3 mil pouch sold in a 200-count pack with an ultra-clear finish and very high user ratings; Simply Cool (B) offers thicker 10 mil self-adhesive sheets in a 120-count pack that do not require heat or a laminating machine for application. Choose A if you need high volume, machine lamination and clarity; choose B if you want thicker, machine-free, self-adhesive lamination for heavier-duty protection
