SnapPap Plus - Vegan leather - grey 50x150

What is SnapPap plus?

SnapPap plus differs from SnapPap first of all in terms of appearance. In a mechanical process, SnapPap is reworked in such a way that a very fine structure becomes visible. It looks and feels even more like leather than washed SnapPap.

It's also softer, but it also has less stability.

It is less suitable for painting and printing because the fine wrinkles make it difficult to achieve an even print. It's also not optimal for projects that take advantage of SnapPap's rigidity and stand. It is better suited for workpieces that require a flexible and soft material.

Details:

• Thickness: 0.55mm
• Size: 50 x 150cm
• Material:  SnapPap consists of more than 60% cellulose. The remaining ingredients are color pigments and latex. The cellulose is obtained from trees from northern European, sustainably managed forests (mostly spruce). However, there is no FSC certification for the origin.

• ​Good to know

• You still need a suitable thread? We are happy to choose the right one for you!
• The easiest way to attach
• Snappap is with Wonder Clips, pins leave unsightly holes.
• You sew snappap with the straight stitch. The fabric does not fray, so overcasting is not necessary. You can easily choose a slightly larger stitch length.
• If you sew up SnapPap, we recommend washing it beforehand because this makes the material softer and easier to work with. Washing also gives it its characteristic leather look. SnapPap shrinks a little when washed.
• When plotting, handicrafts or pasting, the result will be better if it is not washed beforehand.
• For sewing, we recommend a Leather needle or a 90s universal needle.
• Before washing, SnapPap feels like thick photo cardboard and after washing it has a leather-like surface. The leather look of SnapPap is reinforced by crumpling.
• You can safely use the tumble dryer. The material leaves no fibers and can withstand high temperatures, but creases significantly more in the dryer.
• You can iron SnapPap on high and with steam. It becomes completely smooth again if you iron the damp SnapPap with steam. This also applies to unwashed SnapPap.
• The colors may vary depending on the screen, we are happy to help with possible combinations.
