For paper wallets it keep your keys offline, which protects against online hacking, but their physical nature makes them vulnerable to damage, loss, or theft? If the paper is lost or destroyed, your Bitcoin is also gone forever right.

What happens if my paper wallet gets wet, burned, or the ink fades?

How do I securely create and print a paper wallet without risking my private keys being stolen?
You do not need to print it but you can use a pencil or the common pen that students use on a papar that students commonly buy. But first go and check the paper you have used like 10 years ago or more to know if what are written on it is not erased. If you want to use pencil, use the common graphite pencil.

For water resistant, you can laminate the paper. Also make sure you keep the paper in different locations and you can have 2 or 3 of the backups.

You can use passphrase also. Make sure you backup the passphrase in different locations also. If the passphrase is lost, younwil not be bake to have access to your coins just as if seed phrase is lost.

Or you can get a steel or titanium backup instead.
