Are these pouches glossy or matte? I am trying to find matte ones for my classroom so there isn't a glare problem when we scan them.

These are glossy. But if you go to Amazon.com and search for laminating pouches you will see they also have a variety of self-laminating pouches (no need for a machine) and it states they are non-glare. Some are more expensive than others so I'm not sure it the quality of the cheaper ones is good for you or not.

Gloss clear. There is no matte finish or other film that filters light or glare.

This is a double-sided product: one side is glossy, one side is matte. The matte side does indeed reduce the glare a bit. However, I found that the matte side distorted text and reduced overall image quality. So I'm using the glossy side, which I don't think is reducing the glare at all.

It's a personal preference but I prefer glossy but that's just me. Hope this helps!

The ream I bought was not glossy. I don't like glossy anymore because it catches too much glare in a room with windows.

They are "Matte" coated. The invites I used them for turned out great. I did print actual pictures but the graphic were great.

Just recieved ours a week ago and it has a matte screen. I totally forgot that it never asked for my preference when I was ordering! So I think you are right, Amazon doesn't offer the glossy.I personally like the matte better, less annoying reflection, though I've heard the glossy screens have better color, personal preference.

I have purchased a variety of colors from this company and all of them have a matte appearance to them. Hope this helps!

Well, yes before you laminate them they are. They are a smooth plastic. They also have a lot of static before you laminate them so it's hard to get the paper in just right, but you are going to get that with any laminating pouch. (believe me, I've tried them ALL, I order these for work and we go through TONS of them.) I have bought cheap pouches before from other places and these are good ones. When they say 5 mil they are actually 5 mil. (I've had them not be from other places) and they laminate well. They're nice and clear. No yellow-ish tint. This is the best price I have found for good laminating sheets. I hope that helps! Well, yes before you laminate them they are. They are a smooth plastic.

Hello,These particular screen protectors will be more glossy than having a matte finish. I still recommend them to anyone but it will become slippery once you touch it enough, only due to your fingers releasing oil. But you can always wipe it off for better results.- Louis

They are matte. They are the same as a regular sheet of paper, but they have a dark backing (where the glue is) that blocks any writing that may be on the envelope under the label. I hope this helps.

Yes, the ones I got are Matte. They do sell HD ones also. I had a Matte protector from another brand before and liked it because it reduced a lot of glare. It was was clearer than Tech Armor also. However they were more expensive. Also with an S3, because of the shape, I think all protectors will eventually start lifting on the edges after awhile.

I don't have any experience with the matte, but I have no complaints bout the clear one. Haven't had any problems with glare, etc.

Clarification: these are shiny. If you want matte, might find at Walmart--seen there.

They are a matte finish compatible with both laser and ink jet printers. If you need Glossy for laser or ink jet, we have that as well. Please send us a message for details. Thank you!

I don't have any problems with glare, it is not a glossy screen, it is more of the soft matte finish.

They are not shiny. The weight is between a heavy kraft paper and thin cardboard - more flexible and lighter than cardstock. I use them with second grade students and they have held up well. It is now December and students have used them daily since August 5th.
