Synthetic Laser Paper
Cost Comparison vs. Laminated Paper
|
|
In
addition to being able to withstand extreme
physical and environmental abuse, one of the
major
advantages
of REVLAR™
Synthetic Paper
is that its durability is not dependent on
lamination. Often times, “normal” paper
products are laminated in an attempt to achieve
the same characteristics that
REVLAR™
offers as a stand-alone product. In addition to
the fact that laminating requires an additional,
time-consuming step in the process after laser
printing has been completed,
lamination can also peel, bubble or
crease, often compromising the clean,
professional look desired, and allowing unwanted
moisture to penetrate and damage the finished
piece. |

REVLAR™ is
clearly the more durable, waterproof, tearproof
product, and it is also much faster than
laminating, but for many users – especially
those with
applications where lamination is
being considered more for the look and feel of
it rather than the durability - the final
decision often comes down to the cost of
laminating vs. the cost of using REVLAR™
instead. Below is a cost comparison that
illustrates that REVLAR™, in addition to being
the more durable, user-friendly product, is also
cost-effective.

It is
important to note that the above comparison does
NOT take into account the cost of purchasing and
maintaining laminating equipment, which further
enhances the argument for choosing REVLAR™ over
laminated paper products.
