High-Quality Image, Environmentally-Friendly, Ease of Printability Are Tops for Using Popular Substrate for Point-of-Purchase and In-Store Signage

Lyndhurst, N.J. – Hop Industries, manufacturer of the durable Hop-Syn synthetic paper today releases the top 10 reasons retailers and print service providers (PSPs) choose the popular Hop-Syn synthetic paper for point-of-purchase displays, in-store signage, banners, hang tags, loyalty cards, anti-theft packaging, and more. The top 10 list is based on feedback from Hop’s customers, service providers, and its synthetic paper experts:

1. Precise, high-quality images: Hop-Syn’s bright white finish allows printers to produce sharp graphics with high-resolution color and accuracy.
2. Environmentally responsible: Tree-free and 100% recyclable, Hop-Syn is also manufactured under ISO 9000 standards. Additionally, the synthetic paper meets the environmental standards of CONEG and ROHS for North America.
3. Printability and durability: With Hop-Syn’s high dyne level and smooth matte, microporous finish, the durable substrate has the printing performance of a fine offset paper but with the weather resistant properties of plastic.
4. Versatility: The Hop-Syn synthetic paper substrate comes in six grades (XT, BL, TO, G1, G2, and DL) suitable for a wide range of applications such as P-O-P displays, banners, blockout and backlit signs, as well as hang tags, book covers, maps and more.
5. Competitively priced: PSPs may leverage Hop-Syn’s superior quality while enjoying a better price point than other durable substrates.
6. PVC alternative: A more environmentally responsible alternative to PVC, Hop-Syn is more durable and weather resistant than other plastics, such as PVC vinyl and polystyrene.
7. Assured consistency: Hop-Syn is considered a ‘dream’ substrate for roll- and sheet-fed digital printers, such as the EFI VUTEk. The substrate boasts dimensional stability and evenness, with minimal variance over the course of a long roll of Hop-Syn.
8. Ready to ship: More than one million pounds of Hop-Syn synthetic paper are available in the company’s NJ warehouse facilities, ready for shipping within 24 hours.
9. In-house converting: Customers can receive custom-sized substrate within three days of an order. The turnaround is quick, and the service is top-notch. Many printers regard the manufacturer’s NJ-based warehouse as an extension of the their own.
10. Helpful support team: Hop-Syn experts are always available for advice about everything related to the durable substrate, such as grade selection, printing processes, finishing and fabricating, including die cutting, folding, drilling, and gluing.
