Did you know you no longer need to spend money on lamination? Synthetic
paper provides lamination-like protection, while offering other benefits
like excellent durability, efficiency, and environmental responsibility in a
single, seamless product that requires no post-print processing.
Let's break down exactly why synthetic paper has become the
preferred choice for industries.
The Problem with Lamination
Lamination has been a go-to solution for decades, offering a thin
layer of plastic film to protect regular paper from moisture, tearing, and
wear. Over time, this process revealed several drawbacks:
- Time-consuming
workflow
- Inconsistent
durability
- Environmental
concerns
- Increased
operational costs
Lamination may protect the application, but only temporarily, and
at a cost.
Synthetic Paper: Designed to Endure
Unlike laminated materials synthetic paper became the
solution, with features like:
- Waterproof
and tear-resistant
- Durable
in harsh environments
- Compatible
with modern printing
- Writable
- Recyclable
- Free
from the need for lamination
Industries Where Synthetic Paper Outperforms Lamination
Tear resistant synthetic paper has already
replaced laminated applications across industries where longevity, hygiene, and
reliability are essential, such as:
·
Hospitality -
Withstand spills, no need for repeated cleaning, and can be easily handled
without peeling or fading.
·
Retail & Packaging -
Survive transportation, stocking, and consumer handling without damage.
·
Healthcare & Laboratories - Wipeable,
chemical-resistant for sterile and high-use environments.
·
Outdoor & Industrial Use - Remain
legible and intact in rain, dust, and sunlight.
·
Events & Education - Do
not curl or degrade — even after repeated use, folding, or exposure to
moisture.
The Aesthetic Advantage of Synthetic Paper
While laminated paper may offer a glossy finish, it often creates
the appearance of a protective overlay rather than an integrated design. Over
time, common issues such as bubbling, edge peeling, and surface cracking can
detract from the intended look and feel. It gives an impression of being a
temporary enhancement rather than a premium solution.
In contrast, synthetic paper offers a refined, modern appearance
that stands on its own. It is available in a range of finishes — from smooth
matte to elegant gloss — allowing brands to align aesthetics with identity. The
material holds color exceptionally well, producing sharp, vibrant, and premium
print quality. It also resists fading, even with prolonged exposure to
light and environmental factors.
Sustainable Cosmo Synthetic Paper
Lamination contributes to waste due to its mixed-material
composition, which cannot be separated in recycling facilities. In contrast,
synthetic paper is:
- Made
from recyclable material
- Longer-lasting,
durable, reducing the need for frequent reprints
- Tree-free,
contributing to forest conservation
- Energy-efficient,
by eliminating lamination steps
