Question:

Plastic used in wallets for ID cards?

You know what I'm talking about? The clear plastic in wallets where you slip your ID card in. I've been trying to search for where I can buy some plastic like that but the closest I've come is to buy transparency film and cut them to size. I'm not looking for pouches, just single pieces of the plastic. Is there a proper name for it? I've searched quot;plastic in wallets for IDsquot;, quot;wallet plasticquot;, etc. If you have any info on where I could buy them, I'd love to hear. Thanks.Sorry if this question is in the wrong place. I have no idea where to put it.

Answer:

There are two kinds of thin plastic and you have managed to crisscross your description to make it unclear what you want. The harder plastic that is used on the laminating things is polyester (as it says in the description) and you should be able to find sheets of it at office supply stores in the form of dividers for folders and sheet protectors for reports. The softer plastic that is used for the kind of wallet I carry where there is a Z fold of pockets to put 2-4 ID cards - 2 showing - is polyethylene plastic and you should be able to find it in various thicknesses at hardware stores and home centers where it is sold by the foot several feet wide off of rolls to make temporary windows to cover screens in winter or to make green houses/hot beds for plants for one season.
You can get them in smaller packages and sometimes even at the drug store. Best of luck.
For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/avhpD Do NOT use nail polish remover!!!!!!!!!! It is acetone and will eat through the plastic and if your wallet is leather and a single micro drop hits it, it's trashed!!!!!!!!! Trust me, do NOT use nail polish remover. Try a tiny dab of oil on a soft rag; that should break it down and the oil will even be good for the leather. Nail polish remover EATS plastic and leather!!
