A planner gets opened every day. A recipe book lives next to the stove. A field guide rides in a backpack.

The cover is the first thing your customer touches and the part that takes the most abuse. If you have ever worried about one getting bent in a bag, splashed in a kitchen, or worn out from daily use, poly paper is worth a look.

What Is Poly Paper?

Poly paper is a 14 pt polyester synthetic paper. It prints and looks like traditional paper, with the same full color printing you would expect from a standard cover. The difference is what happens after it leaves our facility.

Poly paper is water resistant and tear resistant. Spills wipe off. Pages do not rip away from the binding. The cover keeps looking good through the kind of heavy, repeated use that wears out standard cover stock.

How You Can Use It

Poly paper covers can be printed on both sides and bound with spiral or wire-o binding, so your product still lays flat for writing. The material also works beautifully for disc punched covers, making it a durable choice for refillable, disc bound planners and notebooks.

Because it stands up to moisture and handling, poly paper is a strong fit for:

• Planners, journals, and workbooks
• Field guides
• Recipe and kitchen products
• Travel and outdoor products

It is also one of the cover choices that prints on demand with no inventory commitment, which makes it a natural fit for a build-your-own planner program where every order is produced fresh.

Why It Matters

Your products work hard. Poly paper gives your product the familiar look and feel of paper with durability that protects your customer's experience, and your brand, over the long haul.
