What is synthetic paper?
In the wonderful world of printing, there exists a remarkable innovation known as synthetic paper.
But what does that actually mean? And how can it revolutionise your printing needs? Allow our team of experts to explain.
What is synthetic paper? This is a catch-all term used to describe an array of products that emulate the look, feel, and often the performance of traditional paper.
However, what is different about this product when compared to traditional paper is its composition. It isn’t derived from wood pulp as traditional paper is but is instead crafted from synthetic polymers, offering a wealth of additional material properties.
