Synthetic paper

{{Short description|Material similar to paper made out of synthetic resin}}

Synthetic paper is a material made out of synthetic resin which is made to have properties similar to regular paper.

Synthetic paper is usually made out of either biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) or high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The applications include paper for labels (thus that can bond with ink) and non-label paper. The products can be highly water resistant, flexible, durable and tear resistant.{{cite news|date=7 November 2019|title=Synthetic Paper Market Overview & Growth Opportunities To 2023 – Key Players: PPG Industries, Yupo Corporation & American Profol Inc: Radiant Insights, Inc.|publisher=finanzen.net GmbH|url=https://www.finanzen.ch/nachrichten/aktien/synthetic-paper-market-overview-&-growth-opportunities-to-2023-key-players-ppg-industries-yupo-corporation-&-american-profol-inc-radiant-insights-inc--1028668174}}
