Grocery stores can improve sales and customer experience by using durable, waterproof signage, especially in food departments. Traditional paper signs often get damaged by moisture, but synthetic options like REVLAR are waterproof, tear-proof and can be sanitized, making them a more professional and long-lasting choice. This eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming lamination while ensuring signs remain clean.

To print on waterproof synthetic paper, use a compatible printer and the right settings. Check that your dry toner laser, offset or flexo printer can handle the paper’s weight and heat, then test with samples. Choose a media setting that matches the paper weight; aim for lower heat, slower speed and a straight paper path or use a synthetic paper setting if available. For best results, let sheets acclimate for 24 hours, fan edges to reduce static and store unused paper in its box.

Choose waterproof synthetic paper because it costs less, saves time and lasts longer then lamination. Lamination is only water-resistant and can crack or peel over time, while synthetic paper is waterproof and tear-proof, chemical- and fade-resistant. It prints cleanly on dry-toner laser printers and can be folded or die-cut in many sizes and colors. This makes it a versatile choice for menus, signs, ID cards, maps, labels, manuals, permits and more.
