The rules say:
Each participant may bring one 8.5” x 11” sheet of paper, which may be in a sheet protector sealed by
tape or laminated, that may contain information on both sides in any form and from any source without
any annotations or labels affixed.

Does that mean each sheet can have different information or do they have to be duplicates?

In my experience this is usually just what's given to identify plastics. You might have physical samples but you'll still likely rely on density and burn results to identify them, since they all look basically the same. I'd also be sure to know the resin codes, I think some supervisors might provide those and have you match them? Outside of that information, I'm not sure what else you would really use to distinguish plastics. The ID is much simpler than powders.

Each sheet can have different information. You can have up to two sheets, one for each person participating in the event.
