Amazing Waterproof Paper

A good client came to us a couple weeks ago with a problem. They wanted equipment tags. Great. Easy enough. Not so fast. It’s not going to be that easy.

They were going to be used outdoors. The typical tag is a manila colored paper similar to index cards. So paper is out. How about laminating them? Great protection from the elements and affordable too. Nope. They have to write on them. Can’t write on lamination. Hmmm.

Now it gets interesting. Doing a little brainstorming, someone thought of that sample pack the paper mill representative dropped off a few months ago. Let’s check that out.

They had the perfect product. It is a synthetic paper. It is chemical resistant. Waterproof. And it is tear proof. We test it here. Perfect. Oh, and you can write on it with a pen or Sharpie.

After we print on it we can cut it, punch holes in it, round corner it, die cut it, and who knows what else we can do with it.

Some other uses we have found for it. Membership cards. Menus. Reference cards or instructions used in a harsh or dirty environment. Outdoor signs. Rear view mirror signs. Plant stakes.

Call Allegra Marketing, Print & Mail and tell us your problem. We will find a solution.
