Our PE Coated Paper Roll is a premium, ready-to-convert laminated paperboard designed specifically for high-speed production of disposable paper cups, food containers, and flexible packaging. Manufactured by extruding a uniform layer of high-quality polyethylene (LDPE or MDPE) onto food-grade cupstock base paper, this material delivers exceptional liquid barrier performance, heat-sealability, and mechanical strength. Supplied in convenient roll form, it ensures seamless feeding and consistent output on automatic cup-forming machines, die-cutters, and slitting lines.
| Parameter | Standard Range | Customization Options |
|---|---|---|
| Base Paper Grammage | 170 – 400 g/m² | Adjustable per cup size and capacity |
| PE Coating Weight (per side) | 12 – 25 g/m² | Single-side or double-side coating |
| Total Grammage | 190 – 450 g/m² | Customized upon request |
| Roll Width | 200 – 1,200 mm | Slit to exact machine requirements |
| Roll Diameter | 800 – 1,200 mm | Core size: 3″ or 6″ (76mm / 152mm) |
| Caliper Tolerance | ±0.02 mm | Ensuring consistent die-cutting precision |
| Coating Type | LDPE (low-density) / MDPE (medium-density) | Food-grade, odorless, and BPA-free |
Excellent water, oil, and moisture resistance with Cobb value ≤ 25 g/m² (180 seconds test), guaranteeing zero leakage for hot beverages (up to 95°C) and cold drinks.
Smooth, pinhole-free coating surface prevents liquid penetration through cup sidewalls and bottoms.
Outstanding hot-tack strength ensures secure sealing of cup bottoms and side seams at standard cup-forming temperatures (150°C – 220°C).
Consistent sealing performance across high-speed production lines (up to 250 cups per minute), minimizing rejects and downtime.
Superior Taber stiffness (≥ 5.0 mN·m for 250 gsm board) prevents cup deformation under filling weight and stacking pressure.
Excellent tear resistance and tensile strength for smooth roll unwinding and crease-free forming.
Clay-coated top side with PPS roughness ≤ 2.0µm delivers vibrant, high-definition flexo/offset printing results.
PE coating on the reverse side enhances cup aesthetics and provides a comfortable tactile finish.
We prioritize consumer safety and regulatory adherence. Our PE coated paper rolls are certified to meet:
US FDA (21 CFR 176.170) – direct food contact approval.
EU Framework Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 and German BfR Recommendation XXXVI.
ISO 22000 food safety management system.
FSC® Certification (available upon request) – ensuring responsible fiber sourcing.
Comprehensive migration testing conducted by SGS / BV / Intertek (reports available on request).
Our PE coated paper rolls are suitable for a wide spectrum of foodservice packaging:
| Application | Recommended Specs | Key Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Single-Wall Paper Cups | 190 – 280 g/m², single-side PE | Cost-effective, leak-proof for daily use |
| Double-Wall Insulated Cups | 250 – 320 g/m², double-side PE | Enhanced stiffness and insulation |
| Ripple-Wall Cups (with sleeve) | 300 – 400 g/m², single-side PE | High rigidity for structural support |
| Soup & Noodle Containers | 300 – 450 g/m², double-side PE | Grease resistance & heat tolerance |
| Ice Cream & Yogurt Cups | 220 – 300 g/m², single-side PE | Excellent cold-temperature performance |
| French Press / Vending Cups | 220 – 280 g/m², single-side PE | Smooth surface for high-speed forming |
We go beyond standard offerings to support your unique requirements:
Base Paper Grammage: Customized for light-weighting or heavy-duty applications.
PE Coating Weight: Adjustable to meet specific sealing strength or barrier demands.
Single vs. Double-Side Coating: Choose based on whether your cups hold hot liquids, oily foods, or require external moisture protection.
Roll Slitting: Precision slit to your exact width to eliminate waste and reduce secondary cutting.
Pre-Printing Option: Available in plain white, solid colors, or full-CMYK pre-printed designs (with food-safe inks) – ready for cup-forming immediately after lamination.
Antimicrobial Coating Additive: Optional treatment to extend product shelf life (hygiene-sensitive applications).
