As a global leader in the sustainable packaging and lifestyle product industry, Shanghai KIYI International Trade Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "KIYI") is proud to address one of the most frequently asked questions in the creative and industrial sectors: "Can you print on Tyvek paper?" With over 20 years of expertise as an integrated manufacturer and a strategic partner of DuPont™ Tyvek® since 1997, KIYI has pioneered advanced Tyvek printing technology to transform this unique non-woven material into stylish bags, durable envelopes, and innovative lifestyle products sold across global markets.
Many clients often confuse Tyvek with traditional paper. While it looks and feels like paper, Tyvek® is actually made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) filaments. This unique structure provides a smooth, matte surface that is exceptionally receptive to high-quality graphics.
"The answer is a resounding yes-you can print on Tyvek paper, but it requires professional precision," says the technical director at KIYI. "Unlike regular paper, Tyvek is non-absorbent and has a melting point of 135°C. This means the Tyvek printing process must be carefully managed using specialized inks and temperature-controlled machinery to ensure vibrant, long-lasting results."

Ink Selection: Use fast-drying, solvent-based inks or UV-cured inks for the best adhesion.
