I have no problem with the laminated pouches. Good quality like I expect from 3M. However, the loops smell so bad - they are unusable. I wanted them for all my son's musical equipment, but I wouldn't want to be in the same room with the loops. I put them in the garage to air out for days and then soaked them overnight in water with dish detergent. They are back outside, but I can still smell them. I will be looking for something else to attach the tags with.
