Plastics with memory

05/14/2008 3:57 PM

I am looking for a plastic that you could penetrate with a sewing needle, yet strong enough so it will not tear. It would be helpful if the plastic would have some memory to it so that the hole from the needle puncture would close or be less visible once the needle is removed. Also, it needs to come in many colors.

Interesting I like it. I see that you can print graphics but I need something that can have brilliant metallic colors and an almost holographic look to it. I wonder if Tyvek has that capability?

Also, I am interested in the type of plastic that is made for the clothing of those small dolls like Poly Pockets. Not the doll itself but the plastic used for the clothing. Do you know what type of plastic that is?
