PermaPaper®: The Smarter, Greener Alternative to Lamination
If you’ve ever laminated a sheet of paper, you know the drill: warm up the machine, feed in the pouch, and hope it doesn’t wrinkle or jam. It’s fiddly, time-consuming, and most importantly, once laminated, the paper can’t be recycled.
PermaPaper® Office changes all of that.
It’s a premium synthetic paper that gives you the durability of lamination without any of the hassle, or the plastic! Just print your document using a standard laser printer or copier, and it’s ready to use. Tough, wipe-clean, and fully recyclable.
Best of all, it’s available to purchase from Clyde Paper & Print.
Why switch to PermaPaper®?
1. It’s built to last.
PermaPaper® is water-resistant, tear-resistant, and ideal for anything that gets handled often. From safety signage in factories to menus in cafés, it stays sharp and smudge-free even with heavy use.
2. It’s simple to use.
No extra steps, no extra equipment. Just load it into your printer like you would any normal paper.
3. It’s better for the planet.
Unlike laminated sheets that combine paper and plastic, PermaPaper® is made of 100% polyester material which can go straight into the recycling bin. That’s a win for your waste stream and the environment.
According to The Recycling Association, laminates are one of the top contaminants in the paper recycling process. Choosing recyclable materials like PermaPaper® makes life easier for recycling facilities, and keeps more waste out of landfill.
Where PermaPaper® works best
Cafés and restaurants – Menus, price lists, table signs
Signage – indoor or outdoor signs
Offices – Cleaning rotas, protocols, notices
Factories and warehouses – Checklists, safety signage
Schools and colleges – Learning materials, classroom guides
Anywhere you need a document that can handle a bit of rough and tumble.
The stats behind the switch
Laminated documents are not widely recyclable and can take hundreds of years to decompose in landfill.
Synthetic papers like PermaPaper® are made from a single material and so can be fully recycled avoiding plastic contamination.
No lamination = less energy use and fewer materials consumed per document. That means lower costs and a smaller carbon footprint over time.
Smarter documents. Less waste.
PermaPaper® Office offers a cleaner, quicker, and more sustainable alternative to lamination. Whether you're printing one checklist or 500 menus, you'll get a durable, professional finish, without creating unnecessary waste.
