Our take
Nearly fifty thousand reviews at 4.7★: this is the laminating pouch the UK buys. "160 micron" on the box means 80 microns per side, which is the everyday weight every home and office laminator supports — flexible, clear, cheap. Use 125-per-side (250 total) pouches only if your machine explicitly supports them and you want rigid signs or ID cards.
Pouches are a commodity and the well-reviewed compatible brands are fine too; Fellowes' just have the most consistent adhesive layer, which is what stops cloudy patches. Feed sealed edge first.

Genuine vs compatible — which should you buy?
Genuine cartridges cost more per page but carry the maker's warranty, hit the quoted page yield reliably, and never trip firmware "unrecognised cartridge" blocks.
Compatible (third-party) cartridges are typically 40–70% cheaper. Quality is fine from reputable sellers, but yields are optimistic, colour accuracy varies, and some brands (HP with HP+ in particular) actively block them. For a mono laser printing text, compatibles are usually the sensible buy; for colour or warranty-critical kit, stay genuine.
