Question
What the difference between synthetic plastic and rigid vinyl?
Answer
First, what they have in common: both synthetic plastic and rigid vinyl are unique alternatives to traditional paper, engineered to be far more durable than a paper stock. The difference is the material and how it behaves. Synthetic plastic is polypropylene, while rigid vinyl is PVC, which is stiffer.
| Synthetic Plastic | Rigid Vinyl | |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Polypropylene | PVC |
| Feel | More flexible | Stiffer, more rigid |
| Durability | Waterproof, tear resistant | Waterproof, tough |
- Both shrug off water and tearing, so they outlast paper in demanding conditions.
- Choose synthetic plastic for a lighter, more flexible feel and rigid vinyl for a firmer card.
