How to Find the Right Paper
The right brand of printing paper is out there, but it can be difficult knowing where to start. Here are a few areas you need to think about.

So, marketers, designers and print professionals have a unique choice for a multi-tasking substrate that combines the best of both worlds.
Paper Finish and Weight
Our laminating method requires no ovens to cure or burn off solvents. It doesn’t use water-based adhesives either. As a result, our laminated papers present a more stable finish. Therefore, our paper offers a cost-effective durable solution and comes in a range of basis weights to suit your application. For example, prints with material for low keepsake such as brochures will likely be discarded quickly so will suit a more modest weight, avoiding unnecessary initial investment from a thicker paper.
PaperTyger products are constructed with uncoated papers that have wet strength for short-term protection against moisture. The inner film allows the durability and moisture barrier of synthetic paper with the look and feel of standard paper.
