Recycled Water Proof Tear Resistant Stone Paper 168gsm Synthetic Paper Biodegradable For Painting Book Album

Stone paper is a type of specialty paper that is made from calcium carbonate 80% (limestone) and bio-polyethylene resin 20% (HDPE). The HDPE is used as a binder. Stone paper is an extremely environmentally friendly paper which is different from traditional paper because it has non wood-pulp.
 

Stone paper combines advantages of paper and plastic

"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.

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.

Can I use a pencil and is it erasable?

Yes and yes, of course. You’ll find that since there’s no fibers in stone paper, pencil marks erase much easier and unlike some low-quality papers, you can’t erase a hole into it. Be careful not to sharpen too much though, the pencil may grab onto the paper like piercing with a needle. We recommend a thickness like 0.7 or greater.
What happens to different pens on stone paper?
Ballpoints and gel pens will be absolutely fine! However, be wary of fountain pens and felt tips. Depending on the construction of the tip, you may need to alter your grip, angle, or how hard you press down. Since the paper has no grain direction, writing on the paper with the same force will be unnecessary.

Do I need a special pen or pencil to write on stone paper?

Nope! We tried and tested pencils and pens with no issue. In fact, since the stone paper absorbs less ink than regular paper, it looks cleaner and has zero bleed-through. Our recommended pen is a good ol' fashioned ballpoint. They may seem like a boring choice but you'll understand why once you feel the glide of a ballpoint on our paper. We have found that some fountain pens may take longer to dry than ballpoints. However, you may need to alter your grip, angle, or how hard you press down
