TerraSlate: The Waterproof Paper That Started with a Problem
Some of the most useful innovations are born from a real-world problem. TerraSlate waterproof paper is no different.
It all started with a frustrating travel issue. Passports were getting ruined. Not lost—just damaged. Rainstorms, beach trips, sweaty pockets, and unexpected spills made passport copies useless. Lamination seemed like a good fix, but it often peeled, cracked, or failed when it mattered most.
That experience sparked an idea.
What if there were a paper that was completely waterproof, rip-proof, and durable enough to survive just about anything?
A Solution Begins
While traveling, our founder, Kyle Ewing, began developing a better kind of paper. Something that could handle water, pressure, heat, cold, chemicals, and wear from constant handling. He ran tests, ruined a printer, and eventually created what would become the first generation of TerraSlate waterproof paper.
He started small, selling indestructible passport copies to travelers. The product worked, but the market was limited. Until one customer asked a simple question:
“Can I buy the paper instead?”
And with that, everything changed.
The Turning Point
That one question opened up a much larger vision. Kyle realized the true potential of waterproof paper was not just for travelers—it was for professionals. Restaurants, airlines, construction crews, medical teams, government agencies, and anyone who needed paper that could survive the elements.
He shifted the business from selling finished documents to offering the raw material and custom printing services. TerraSlate was no longer just about one product. It became a platform for creating any document that needed to last.
Why TerraSlate Paper Works
TerraSlate waterproof paper is built to do more than look good. It is built to survive the real world.
It is waterproof all the way through, not just on the surface. You can cut it, soak it, bend it, drop it, or run it through a commercial dishwasher. It holds up.
Whether you need restaurant menus, dive logs, field manuals, business cards, or safety signs, TerraSlate is the solution.
Menus that Last
TerraSlate menus are designed to thrive in tough environments. Sticky fingers, spilled drinks, grease splashes, and toddler bites are no problem. If your menu gets jammed under a chair leg or dropped on a patio, you do not need to replace it. You can just wipe it clean.
Even better, when your seasonal or holiday menus change, you can simply recycle the old ones. Our waterproof paper is fully recyclable and made to last.
Lamination Is Outdated
Traditional lamination used to be the go-to option. But now there is a better way.
TerraSlate waterproof paper prints faster, lasts longer, and performs better. It does not peel or bubble. It does not trap moisture. And if it gets scratched or cut, it stays waterproof.
You also do not need to wait. We ship 95 percent of all orders the same day and offer free overnight shipping anywhere in the United States.
Smart for the Planet
TerraSlate paper is not only durable. It is eco-smart.
You use less over time because each product lasts longer. Our paper is fully recyclable, so you won't have to throw out damaged menus, signs, or documents every few weeks. By switching to a long-lasting alternative, you reduce waste and limit your impact on the environment.
