This thread had me do some thinking and searching for the best paper I can use for paper wallets and paper wallets for our collectable loaded items as well.
I have come across Terra Slate paper touted as The most durable paper on the planet.
TerraSlate is acid-free and is great for archival use.

TerraSlate Paper has proven to be the world's most tear-proof & waterproof laser printer paper. Compatible with ballpoint pens, copy machines, laser printer and digital presses, TerraSlate is a synthetic paper that never needs laminating.
TerraSlate was developed to be durable, tear-proof and waterproof in order to withstand rain, heat up to 350 degrees, temperature variations, all while repelling grease, solvents and chemicals.
TerraSlate weatherproof paper offers superior laser image quality with the appearance, smoothness and printability of standard paper; and works great in most any standard laser printer or digital press. Most importantly, TerraSlate weatherproof paper is more cost-effective to use and has a much more professional look than laminating.
Well, I bought some and conducted an experiment to see if this is so....
One of our main fears with paper wallets is water damage.
So I printed out a set of private and pub keys, printed and conducted 2 different experiments..
The first was to just dip the wallet into the water for a few seconds and let dry...
Passed with flying colors...was able to scan the qr codes easily and also no damage done whatsoever.
For the second test I placed the wallet under water in a tall glass for at least 12 hours....
Again it passed with flying colors. No damage and QR codes read easily via my mycellium wallet app.
I have to say I am very impressed with these papers and will use for my project as well as any paper wallets that I have.
