TYVEK™ On Top of The World

A great testimonial to the tough, weather-resistant durability of our Tyvek™ banner material … St. Andrews student Geordie Stewart recently undertook the mammoth challenge of setting a record-breaking attempt at conquering Mount Everest to celebrate St. Andrews University’s 600th anniversary.

What better way to prove his achievement than through capturing the moment he reached the highest point in the world, through a photo opportunity. Here is a photo of Geordie, proudly holding up his claim to fame on our banner material. 

Our Tyvek™ can now also boast a little claim to fame for being the first strip of Tyvek™ to have ever reached the roof of the world. Printed by the Print & Design Unit at St. Andrews University, this remarkable substrate is as tough and resilient as Geordie, and has proved its strength through being held up at 29,035 feet … print perfect and wrinkle free. 

Geordie Stewart is the youngest Scot to have ever climbed the highest peak on each of the seven continents. Papergraphics are proud to have been a very small part of his latest challenge and would like to congratulate him on his great achievement and commend him for being such an inspirational part of St. Andrews 600th Anniversary.
