Plastic Substrate Alternative: MultiLoft® Elements™ Terra14

March 1, 2022

Sustainability is a hot topic in printing, and consumers are more concerned with their “carbon footprint” than ever. One way the printing industry can address sustainability concerns is by finding alternatives for plastic substrates, particularly for single-use products.

Roughly 300 million tons of plastic waste is generated each year, with much of that waste ending up in landfills, our environment, and our oceans. In the pursuit of a more environmentally conscious printing industry, Convertible Solutions has sought out plastic-free alternative substrates for printed products that often utilize plastic, such as PVC gift cards or plastic laminated items.

MultiLoft® Elements™ Terra14

MultiLoft® Elements™ Terra14 is already an industry-recognized plastic card replacement substrate. Several attributes make it a great substrate alternative for printed products which would otherwise use plastic or plastic lamination:

• Plastic-free, 100% recyclable paper substrate
• Ultra smooth, water-resistant surface
• Smooth surface can be embellished with Foil, Spot UV and other special treatments
• Create rigid cards up to 28pt thick, and easily combine with other MultiLoft® Sheets or Inserts for even thicker pieces

What can you create with MultiLoft® Elements™ Terra14?

• Thick, water-resistant postcards
• Postcards with perforated, detachable gift/promo cards
• Plastic-free, durable gift cards
• Business cards
• and more!
