Our Double Side PE Coated Paper is a premium, high-performance laminated paperboard engineered with polyethylene (LDPE/MDPE) coatings applied to both the top and reverse surfaces. This dual-layer construction delivers superior moisture, grease, and vapor barrier protection while significantly enhancing paperboard stiffness and dimensional stability. Supplied in precision-slit rolls, this material is specifically designed for high-speed cup-forming and container manufacturing, offering exceptional performance for hot beverages, soups, frozen desserts, and oily food applications where single-side coating falls short.
| Feature | Double Side PE Coated | Single Side PE Coated |
|---|---|---|
| Moisture Barrier | Full protection on both surfaces | Protection on inside only; outer paper absorbs ambient moisture |
| Stiffness / Rigidity | Superior (up to 20–30% higher Taber value) | Standard rigidity |
| Heat Resistance | Withstands up to 95°C without outer-side softening | Outer paper may soften or deform under high heat |
| Cold/Frozen Applications | Excellent – resists condensation and freezer burn | Prone to external moisture absorption and structural weakening |
| Printing Surface Quality | Smooth, PE-coated outer side allows high-definition printing without paper fuzz | Printing on clay-coated paper – good but less resistant to scuffing |
| Grease & Oil Resistance | Complete oil barrier on both sides | Oil may penetrate through uncoated reverse side |
| Shelf Life of Finished Cups | Extended – no moisture ingress from external environment | Shorter – outer paper can absorb humidity during storage |
| Parameter | Standard Range | Customization Options |
|---|---|---|
| Base Paper Grammage | 170 – 450 g/m² | Adjustable to cup size and application |
| PE Coating Weight (per side) | 12 – 25 g/m² (each side) | Symmetrical or asymmetrical coating profiles |
| Total Grammage | 200 – 500 g/m² | Customized upon request |
| Roll Width | 200 – 1,200 mm | Precision slit to your exact machine width |
| Roll Diameter | 800 – 1,200 mm | Core size: 3″ (76mm) or 6″ (152mm) |
| Caliper Tolerance | ±0.02 mm | Ensures smooth die-cutting and creasing |
| Coating Resin | LDPE, MDPE, or blended grades | Food-grade, odorless, BPA-free, and phthalate-free |
Outstanding water resistance with Cobb value ≤ 20 g/m² (180s) – both sides fully sealed.
Complete grease and oil block, preventing staining or seepage in soup, noodle, and oily food containers.
Low moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) preserves food freshness and prevents cup sagging in high-humidity environments.
Double-side coating significantly increases Taber stiffness – up to 30% higher compared to single-side equivalents.
Prevents cup deformation under hot liquid filling, stacking, and transportation.
Maintains cup roundness and sidewall straightness even with large capacities (16 oz / 22 oz cups).
Excellent hot-tack strength on both surfaces ensures secure bottom sealing and side-seam welding.
Wide heat-sealing window (150°C – 230°C) allows flexible machine parameter adjustments.
Strong peel strength minimizes seal failure, reducing production waste.
Both sides feature ultra-smooth PE surfaces with roughness ≤ 1.8µm, ideal for high-definition flexographic, rotogravure, or offset printing.
Brilliant color reproduction with no fiber raise or ink bleeding – perfect for vibrant brand logos and promotional designs.
Scuff-resistant outer surface ensures print durability during handling and vending machine dispensing.
Double-side coating prevents the paper roll itself from absorbing atmospheric moisture, maintaining consistent dimensional stability even in tropical or high-humidity warehouse conditions.
Reduces roll-edge warping and paper jams during cup-forming.
We adhere to the strictest international food contact standards:
US FDA (21 CFR 176.170 & 177.1520) – fully compliant for direct food contact.
EU Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 and German BfR Recommendation XXXVI.
ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety Management System certified.
FSC® Chain of Custody certification (available upon request) – ensuring sustainable virgin fiber sourcing.
Comprehensive migration testing (overall migration, heavy metals, PAA) conducted by independent third-party laboratories (SGS / BV / Eurofins).
| Application | Recommended Grammage | Why Double Side Coating? |
|---|---|---|
| Hot Beverage Cups (Coffee/Tea) | 220 – 320 g/m² | Outer PE layer resists condensation and heat; prevents cup softening |
| Soup & Noodle Containers | 320 – 450 g/m² | Complete oil and grease resistance on both sides |
| Frozen Dessert Cups (Ice Cream) | 220 – 300 g/m² | Outer PE blocks freezer moisture; prevents freezer burn and label detachment |
| Double-Wall Insulated Cups | 280 – 380 g/m² | Enhanced stiffness enables thinner base paper usage while maintaining strength |
| Microwavable Food Trays | 300 – 450 g/m² | Heat resistance up to 95°C; no delamination under microwave heating |
| Ripple-Wall Cup Sleeves | 300 – 400 g/m² | Dual coating provides structural rigidity and aesthetic smoothness |
| Yogurt & Dairy Portion Cups | 200 – 280 g/m² | External moisture protection during cold-chain logistics |
| Vending Machine Cups | 220 – 280 g/m² | Scuff-resistant outer surface withstands mechanical dispensing |
We offer comprehensive customization options to match your production requirements:
Base Paper Grammage: Select from 170 to 450 g/m² for light-weighting or heavy-duty solutions.
Asymmetrical Coating: Different PE weights on top vs. reverse side – e.g., heavier coating on the inside for liquid contact, lighter on the outside for printability.
Coating Resin Grade: Choose LDPE (flexible), MDPE (balanced), or custom blended resins for specific sealing and stiffness properties.
Anti-Slip Treatment: Optional additive on the outer surface for improved cup stacking stability in automatic dispensers.
Pre-Printing Service: Full-color CMYK + spot color printing with food-safe inks – ready-to-form after lamination, eliminating your secondary printing step.
