What is a Matte Butterfly Pouch?

Matte refers to the finish on the butterfly pouch. A Matte finish is flat and does not reflect light. A butterfly pouch is a laminating pouch which allows you to create edgeless ID Cards when used with a Synthetic Paper. This is possible because, as is visible in the product images below, the pouches are able to lay flat. Normal laminate pouches are sealed at one edge, meaning you would have one edge that has excess laminate (a clear edge). Butterfly pouches are formed with a single piece of laminate with a score to allow for folding, and when used with a synthetic paper such as Teslin or Artisyn Premium Synthetic Paper the entire surface of the paper will bond with the butterfly pouch.
