Teslin is a waterproof synthetic printing medium manufactured by PPG Industries. Teslin is a single-layer, uncoated film, and extremely strong. The strength of the lamination peel of a Teslin sheet is 2–4 times stronger than other coated synthetic and coated papers. Available thicknesses run from 6 to 18 mils (150 to 460 micrometres).^[1] Also available are perforated versions, specifically, 1up, 2up, 3up, 6up, and 8up.^{[citation needed]}

Teslin is commonly used for producing waterproof maps, door hangers, flash cards, horticultural tags, parking permits, and more.^[2]

Teslin is also widely used in the plastic gift and loyalty card industry.^{[citation needed]}

Teslin Grades

There are various grades of Teslin available, each with their own use case depending on printing method and end use.^[3] Most grades of Teslin can be used with an offset press, but other types of printing require their own grades to ensure compatibility.^[1] Teslin grades are referred to as a letter and number designation (e.g. "SP 1000"). The letters are the type of Teslin, and the numbers represent the thickness where 1000 is 10 mils (250 μm), 600 is 6 mils (150 μm), 700 is 7 mils (180 μm), etc.^{[citation needed]}
