So how does stone paper feel to use?
Because our stone paper contains no plant fibres, there is no grain
direction to the paper. Instead, pens slide across the pages with
less friction, allowing for a fluid and effortless writing
experience. Stone paper is also much harder to tear—it stretches
before it tears. Think of the grain of a sheet of paper almost as
tiny perforations that guide a tear. Since stone paper has no
grain, the material is much stronger.
Another unique aspect of stone paper that differs from traditional
paper is its waterproof property. It makes sense—stones aren’t
exactly absorbent, and so stone paper should be no different. This
means that your important reminders and ideas no longer risk being
ruined by a waving hand or sudden weather change. While there is a
time and place for paper that is absorbent, this no longer needs to
be the default.
Stone paper combines advantages of paper and plastic
Stone paper bags and promotional materials are the ecological and
modern alternative to traditional plastic carrier bags. If you want
to make your high-quality advertising media sustainable in the
future, then you have come to the right place.
“Stone paper” is a revolutionary limestone material, a naturally
occurring resource. Not only because of its environmentally
friendly manufacturing method, it is a real alternative to the
usual materials such as paper or plastic, and the elegant
appearance makes your advertising materials a complete success.
Like polyethylene, Stone Paper is durable and waterproof. However,
as it decomposes into dust again only after a short time due to the
influence of wind and weather, it can compete with biodegradable
plastic. Due to its easy formability and foldability as well as the
extremely high-quality look and feel, stone paper is comparable to
classic paper and just as easily printable.
Stone paper products bring with them all the advantages they expect
from a quality carrying bag.
Compared to a paper or plastic bag, however, they hardly pollute
the environment.
Due to its stability and its modern design, the stone paper bag can
also be used as an alternative to fabric or jute bags. Although the
popular printable fabric bag is often made from organic cotton, the
water used to make this material is gigantic.
