Ideally suited for use anytime printed materials will be subject to frequent handling or extreme environmental conditions, waterproof, tear-resistant and durable paper, such as Relyco’s REVLAR, is laser compatible as well as impervious to grease and chemicals, and designed to withstand high and low temperature fluctuations.

There are thousands of applications for REVLAR waterproof papergrease and chemicals, and designed to withstand high and low temperature fluctuations.

Plus, REVLAR offers the image quality and printability of standard paper and can be folded, punched or die cut as needed, making it valuable for thousands of applications.

In addition its ability to withstand extreme physical and environmental conditions, one of the major advantages of REVLAR waterproof laser paper is that its durability is not dependent on lamination.

Traditional paper products are often laminated in an attempt to achieve the characteristics inherent in REVLAR, yet lamination requires an additional time-consuming step after laser printing is complete. Plus, lamination can peel, bubble or crease, compromising the material’s clean, professional appearance and allowing moisture to penetrate and damage the finished piece.

REVLAR is clearly an extremely durable, waterproof and tear-resistant product—and the time required to complete a piece with REVLAR is much less than the time needed to laminate—but for many users, particularly those concerned more with look and feel than with durability, the final decision often comes down to the cost of REVLAR vs. the cost of lamination.

This cost comparison illustrates that REVLAR is a highly cost-effective solution. This example calculates the cost to laser print on REVLAR or to laminate 100 8 1/2” x 11” signs for outdoor use.

ADzif Uses Relyco's REVLAR for Durable, High-Quality Catalog

From its Montreal studios, ADzif partners with local and international artists, illustrators, and photographers to offer complete collection of designs—including photographs, words and phrases, and other graphics for adults, teens, and young children. ADzif distributes its products through large retailers, smaller independent stores, and individual designers across North America, as well as through the company website.

To better serve the customers of Canadian home-improvement retailer RONA, ADzif sought to create an in-store catalog that would feature the decals and stickers sold exclusively in RONA under the brand name MUR/MUR. “RONA is a large distributor with hundreds of stores and thousands of customers,” explains Pierre Pare, co-founder of ADzif. “To highlight our product offerings effectively and to help customers visualize how they could use our products in their own homes, we needed to print our catalog on durable, heavy-weight, tear-resistant paper. After researching a number of options, I found the Relyco website. We requested samples and chose REVLAR from Relyco for our specialized catalog project.”

Since ADzif’s MUR/MUR catalog would be displayed in a specially designed rack in each store, the durability and thickness of the paper was Pare’s primary criteria in selecting REVLAR. “Our products are of high quality,” Pare says, “and we wanted a presentation that was of an equal quality. Other vendors offered durable paper, but only REVLAR from Relyco was available in the heavier weight we preferred, while being durable enough to withstand frequent use.”

It was also important that ADzif could print and assemble the catalogs in house, and Pare notes that REVLAR works smoothly with the company’s printers and that the print quality of the finished product is excellent, ensuring that customers have a clear view of the products and their applications.

“REVLAR is very easy to work with, and the finished product meets our exacting standards. The new catalogs have only been in stores for a short time, but we expect positive results,” Pare says.
