If you’ve found that the average paper isn’t built for the kind of wear and tear your projects are exposed to, it’s time to switch to a substrate that’s built for longevity. There are a number of durable options you could choose from, but if you’re looking for something extra tough, look no further than Durilla™ papers and synthetics.

Thanks to the unique paper-film-paper lamination process used when manufacturing these dependable sheets, Durilla papers are tear- and water-resistant. They’re also available in a selection of weights, sizes and finishes, including uncoated extra smooth, smooth waterproof, clear translucent, and matte coated finishes, so you’re sure to find a sturdy Durilla paper to suit your project.

When to Use Durilla Papers

Considering the end-use of your work is an important step when getting started on your creative project. If you’re designing with durability and longevity in mind, your best bet is to select a paper that holds up to rough handling and spills. Durilla papers are available in both water- or chemical-resistant and fully waterproof varieties to save you the additional step of laminating without sacrificing print fidelity.

If you know your project will be handled regularly, end up outdoors, or otherwise subjected to less-than-ideal conditions, Durilla’s combination of high-quality print results and damage-resistant properties make these papers an ideal choice. With protection from spills, weather and tearing, they can be used for a wide range of applications, including:

Available in white with varying levels of brightness, the Durilla line is compatible with a number of printers and comes in a variety of weights, sizes, and finishes:
