Flimsiplast

HandwrittenAurebesh-GBCC — Mace Windu writes on a piece of flimsiplast in Aurebesh.

"Ha! Caught the enemy on a caf break. Prison defenses might as well be made of flimsiplast."

―Oteg^[src]

Flimsiplast, often shortened to flimsi, flimsy, or sometimes plast, was one of the most popular media for the written word. The hair-thin sheets of acrylic medium were almost transparent and were sometimes collected into hardbound books. Flimsiplast was also used for printing hard-copies of computer files. Flimsi could also be used to make such items as disposable gowns in hospitals.^[1]

Flimsiplast was reusable, unlike paper, but dissolved in liquids.^[2]
