1 Mil represents one one-thousandth of an inch (ex. 1 mil=0.001″). The larger the number, the thicker the laminate. 3 Mil is the thinnest and can be folded easily. 5 Mil is more rigid, yet it can still be folded. 7 Mil is very rigid, but pliable and 10 mil is the thickest and resists bending. Generally speaking, the thicker the laminate, the longer it will last.
