Synthetic paper is waterproof, tear-resistant, and long-lasting, and ideal for various printed materials. It resembles traditional paper in appearance too and is therefore ideal for printed materials.
Printed materials are expected to survive moisture, friction, outdoor exposure, and frequent handling. That’s where Cosmo Synthetic Paper steps in. We’ve engineered it specifically for applications where performance matters just as much as appearance.
Here are the synthetic paper FAQs answered, just for you.
