 Media Texts are printed on Polyart®. Polyart is a unique synthetic paper that gives our media texts the look and feel of the real thing—and is resistant to spills and tearing. This “paper” is highly durable and can withstand years of classroom use. Polyart is also easy on the environment (non-toxic and recyclable). |
