About Hop-Syn
Hop-Syn® is a division of Hop Industries Corp. based in Lyndhurst, NJ. Hop-Syn is a synthetic paper constructed from polypropylene (PP) resins and calcium carbonate (CaCO3), which provide extra durability and weather resistance over traditional pulp-based papers. Customers use Hop-Syn to print high quality graphics via offset litho, uv offset, flexo, screen, uv ink jet or thermal transfer equipment. Each Hop-Syn grade has unique characteristics to match the application, hence the phrase, “The Application Specific Synthetic Papers.” If customers need foldability for a map, there’s a grade for that. If customers need thickness for a P-O-P sign, there’s a grade for that. If customers need translucency for a light box, there’s a grade for that. If customers need extra opacity for a block out window sign, there’s a grade for that. For more information, visit www.hopsyn.com or call 800-524-0757.

 

 

At the recent SGIA Expo, attendees had the opportunity to meet with Hop-Syn synthetic paper experts and learn about the Hop-Syn grades available for different print projects. In this video, William Latham of Hop Industries discusses Hop-Syn XT, the company’s most tear-resistant synthetic paper. He points out its dual direction tear resistance, and how it holds its strength if material gets nicked. Popular applications include horticultural tags and bottle neckers.

 

Latham also recommends Hop-Syn TO for blockout applications. The substrate can be printed on both sides, without reverse images showing through. Popular applications include in-store banners and signage in retail windows, and more.

 

Like all Hop-Syn synthetic papers, Hop-Syn XT and TO are 100% recyclable. The grades can be printed by UV inkjet, flexography, offset litho, screen, and thermal transfer.

 

SGIA Expo attendees were treated to free samples of Hop-Syn XT and TO. If you were unable to attend the Expo, but would like free samples, contact the Hop-Syn team at 800-524-0757.

 

 

The Hop-Syn line of synthetic papers are in compliance with, and exceed, three environmental standards: CONEG, RoHS, and REACH. Compliance ensures that Hop-Syn synthetic papers are free of toxins, heavy metals, and stearates, and can be safely used in a variety of packaging, labeling, and printing applications.

For Hop Industries, humble beginnings started on Fifth Avenue with just six employees and under $1 million in annual sales.

This year, the company is expecting to top $50 million in sales as it firmly establishes itself as a market leader in plastics and sheeting.
