SYNAPS XM is suitable for indoor and outdoor applications like restaurant menus, wire-o bound manuals, hole punched tags, scores table tents, shelf talkers and wobblers, membership and identification cards and plant stakes. Using SYNAPS XM rather than laminating paper stock allows for minimal scrap, waste and time compared to traditional lamination.
