GBC Thermal Laminating Film Rolls Ultima 65 EZLoad - Easy Loading

In this review of the GBC Thermal Laminating Film Rolls, the conclusion is straightforward: this two-pack of 3 mil glossy film is built for educators and busy offices that need dependable, easy-to-load protection for posters, signs and photos. The film's EZLoad end caps remove the usual guesswork when changing rolls, making it simple to avoid loading errors. For anyone using compatible GBC Ultima 65 or Pinnacle 27 EZload laminators, this film delivers consistent glossy results and reliable coverage at a competitive price point.

Key Features

• EZLoad technology: Color coded light gray and dark gray end caps clearly show the correct orientation, reducing film loading mistakes and downtime.
• Glossy finish: The shiny surface helps make colors pop, which is useful for photos, classroom signs and presentation posters.
• 3 mil thickness: Provides sturdy protection while keeping a moderate flexibility that suits frequent handling and display.
• Generous roll length: Each roll is 25' in width by 250' in length, giving a long runtime and fewer roll changes for high-volume tasks.
• Compatibility: Designed specifically for GBC Ultima 65 and Pinnacle 27 EZload laminators that use gray saddles, ensuring a proper fit and performance.
• Two-roll pack: Includes two identical rolls, offering value for schools and offices that laminate regularly.

Who It's For

This product is ideal for schools, teacher resource rooms and office copy centers that run frequent laminating jobs and need a hassle-free loading system. The glossy 3 mil film suits posters, classroom visuals and photo displays where color clarity matters and moderate durability is sufficient.

Those who should look elsewhere include users with non-EZload laminators or machines that do not have gray saddles, since compatibility is limited to specific GBC models. If you need heavy-duty rigid protection for outdoor signage, a thicker film would be a better choice.
