Soft-Touch Matte PET Thermal Laminating Pouches
Give your printed materials the premium feel they deserve. These pouches deliver a smooth, velvety matte finish that looks refined and feels luxurious — the same tactile quality you'll find on high-end packaging, restaurant menus and professional presentations.
The matte surface significantly reduces glare and fingerprints, keeping your materials looking clean and polished even with frequent handling. Underneath the soft finish, durable PET film protects against tearing, moisture, dirt and fading — so your prints stay looking their best long after they leave your hands.
Designed for any thermal pouch laminator, these pouches seal quickly and evenly under heat for consistent, bubble-free results every time.
Great for:
- Business cards and loyalty cards
- Restaurant and café menus
- Presentation and report covers
- Brochures, flyers and marketing collateral
- Certificates, awards and signage
Available options:
- 9" × 11.5" (229 × 292 mm) — 3 mil (75 micron) or 5 mil (125 micron), 100 pouches per box
- 12" × 18" (305 × 457 mm) — 3 mil (75 micron) or 5 mil (125 micron), 100 pouches per box
Choose 3 mil for a flexible, everyday finish. Choose 5 mil for added rigidity and a more premium feel. The same finish is available on a roll: Soft-Touch Matte Laminating Film.
Made from premium PET. Adheres to virtually any substrate and printed media.

Why soft-touch
Premium protection. Luxury finish.
-
Luxury matte finish
A silky, low-glare surface with the tactile feel of high-end packaging. Blacks print deeper and colours look richer under it.
-
Anti-fingerprint
The matte surface resists fingerprints and smudges, so menus and cards that get handled all day still look clean.
-
Durable PET
PET film, not PVC: tear-resistant, moisture-resistant and stable, with no yellowing over time.
-
Any pouch laminator
Standard thermal pouches — run them in an Akiles ProLam or any pouch laminator rated for 3 and 5 mil.

FAQ
Soft-touch questions, answered.
Will these run in my pouch laminator?
Yes, if it takes standard thermal pouches. Set it for 3 mil or 5 mil as you would for gloss pouches; most machines have a preset.
3 mil or 5 mil?
3 mil stays flexible — covers, flyers, anything folded into a binder. 5 mil is noticeably stiffer — menus, cards and counter pieces handled all day.
Does the matte finish dull the print?
No. Soft-touch kills glare, not colour: blacks read deeper and saturated colours richer than under gloss. Keep very fine reversed-out type above 6 pt.
Can I write on it or apply labels?
Permanent marker and most pressure-sensitive labels adhere. Dry-erase wipes off less cleanly than gloss.
How fast does it ship?
From our Toronto warehouse, usually the same or next business day, across Canada and to the USA. Case quantities on request.
