Poly Paper Softcovers
A 14 pt synthetic paper that looks and prints like paper, but resists water and tearing.
Poly paper is a 14 pt polyester synthetic paper that prints and looks like traditional paper, but it is water resistant and tear resistant. That makes it a durable, practical softcover for products that get handled often, carried around, or used in damp or messy conditions.
It can be printed on both sides, bound with spiral or wire-o for a lay-flat product, and used for disc punched covers.
Looks like paper, holds up like plastic. Poly paper takes full color printing just like a standard cover, but it shrugs off water, spills, and tearing, so your product keeps looking good through heavy use.
