In the world of printing and packaging, durability and versatility are key factors in producing high-quality products that can withstand the test of time. While lamination has long been used to protect paper and extend its lifespan, synthetic paper offers several advantages that make it an ideal alternative. These benefits could make synthetic paper the perfect choice for your next project.
Synthetic paper is more cost effective
Traditional lamination requires additional processing and finishing on the paper once printed in order to protect it from environmental elements like water, UV light, grease and other hazards. This requires the user to purchase more lamination equipment as well as a base paper product that’s compatible. In addition, laminated paper isn’t as durable as synthetic paper so will therefore need replacing more often – making it less cost effective for the user.
Synthetic paper is ultra durable
Synthetic paper is ultra durable and created to be waterproof, tear-resistant and alcohol-resistant. There’s no need to worry about water damage as moisture can be wiped off the surface and it can even be submerged in water whilst remaining in perfect condition. Although laminated paper is stronger than ordinary paper, it will eventually break down over time, especially when exposed to moisture. Synthetic paper has a longer life for printed products.
Synthetic paper is faster
Set-up times with synthetic paper are minimal. It is easily folded, die-cut and bound which can be challenging with traditional lamination. Our KernowPrint Pro is ready to run, has unmatched static control and is guaranteed not to distort in press.
Our synthetic paper (KernowPrint Pro) is antimicrobial
We have proactively integrated cutting-edge antimicrobial technology into our synthetic papers which sets it apart from ordinary (and laminated paper). As well as offering protection against unwanted microbes, it can be cleaned with soapy water, bleach or disinfectant over and over again without removing the print.
KernowPrint Pro is suited for a number of applications. It’s durable, versatile and offers exceptional print quality. With the largest list of OEM printer certifications, such as Canon, OKE and Xerox, it delivers the most uptime, least downtime and printer peace of mind. It’s a solid choice if you’re looking to move away from tradition lamination to save time & money.
