Presstoff (also Preßstoff or Pressstoff) is the German-language term for a type of ersatz or artificial leather used during the first half of the 20th century. It was one of the oldest artificial leather.[1]
It was made from specially layered and treated paper pulp. It was treated with a special type of resin that would bind it together in layers.[2][3]
