Maryland Heights, MO – Southwest Binding and Laminating, the nation’s leader in the supply of durable laminates and print media, has announced that they are expanding their Permanent Paper line to include new options for printers looking to produce durable, waterproof, and chemical resistant printed materials.  The options include the flagship Permanent Paper Pro line, the new Permanent Paper Economy line, and an expanded Permanent Paper Vivid line.

Permanent Paper is a multi-purpose synthetic paper designed for applications where customer needs demand tear resistance, water resistance, and chemical durability.  Permanent Paper’s unique construction combines the ease of printability of a premium paper with the toughness and robustness of a performance plastic.  It is specially designed to print on a wide variety of laser and toner based digital output devices, ranging from office printers to full production presses. 

The new Permanent Paper family of products includes three distinct variations to address customer needs.  Permanent Paper Pro, the long-standing flagship offering, provides customers the industry-leading print performance, static control, and chemical resistance for applications such as menus, durable signage, and outdoor tags.  The newly introduced Permanent Paper Economy expands on the success of Permanent Paper by providing customers a daily-use alternative.  Targeted primarily at short to mid-term needs, Permanent Paper Economy provides a product line for lower-cost markets who still need the waterproof and tear resistance benefits of Permanent Paper Pro.   The expanded range of Permanent Paper Vivids rounds out the portfolio with a range of brightly colored synthetic papers that include green, blue, yellow, orange, red, and black.   The selection of vivid colors affords customers a new way to quickly and cost effectively produce eye-catching store signage, safety signage, and other bright call outs where the piece needs to be seen.

“As the leader in durable documents and lamination supplies, Southwest Binding and Laminating is dedicated to providing our customers with the solutions they need to be successful, “state Mark & Mike Mercer, owners of Southwest Binding and Laminating.   “The expansion of our Permanent Paper line compliments our lamination and binding supplies perfectly by providing customers with an array of options to meet any challenges they may face creating durable printed pieces.  Permanent Paper helps us guide customers into new markets and take advantage of the growing trends in short run, versioned print pieces.  We’ve seen great success with customers making the transition to Permanent Paper from traditional print and raising their business image to new levels.  In addition, these new products allow us to be a single-stop source for customers looking to streamline their purchasing while experiencing a level of customer care only a family company can provide.”
