Synthetic paper is a type of paper that is made from synthetic materials rather than wood pulp. It is often used in situations where traditional paper would not be suitable, such as in outdoor or wet environments. Synthetic paper is durable, tear-resistant, and water-resistant, making it ideal for applications like maps, menus, and outdoor signs. It is also often used for printing labels and tags, as it can withstand the rigors of handling and shipping. Synthetic paper can be made from a variety of materials, including polyester, polyethylene, and polypropylene. It is available in a range of thicknesses and finishes, and can be printed using a variety of printing methods, including digital, offset, and flexographic printing.
