Characteristics and Applications of Imitation Paper

Kraft paper is a popular environmentally friendly packaging paper in the world. Its paper is soft, with a leather feel, and its surface layer is wear-resistant and foldable. It uses environmentally friendly water-based ink, with a variety of colors and patterns. Different colors, patterns, and glossiness match to make the paper ever-changing, whether ancient or fashionable. The product is suitable for various gift boxes, jewelry boxes, jewelry boxes, book and picture book binding covers, high-end gift boxes, wine boxes, tea boxes, laptops, luggage, etc Various high-end packaging such as collectibles.
Imitation paper can be roughly classified by material and can be divided into several categories: PVC imitation paper, PU imitation paper, raw wood pulp impregnation imitation paper, domestic imitation paper, and so on.

PVC kraft paper, as mentioned upstairs, is made by covering the paper base with PVC (polyvinyl chloride) film and pressing various texture imitations of leather. This product was first produced in South Korea and initially had a heavy plastic odor, which is not environmentally friendly. However, it can also meet the eight requirements of ordinary SGS environmental protection, and cannot pass the more stringent REACH and ROSH environmental testing of EU countries. Its non environmental protection mainly focuses on odor and non degradability, Even developed countries can export, but they only need to pay heavier tariffs than normal environmentally friendly products. Developed countries generally follow the principle of whoever uses it, and therefore impose heavier taxes as a form of regulation. The inspection method is to manually tear open PVC or PU coated paper with a layer of film on the surface. However, if only the paper is torn open, it may not necessarily be a true environmentally friendly paper. This is closely related to the chemical composition and fillers used in the paper itself. If environmentally friendly and recyclable chemical materials are used as additives and fillers, and environmentally friendly water-based ink is used for coating, Basically, it can be considered as environmentally friendly leather paper. The use of non environmentally friendly materials in that component cannot be considered as environmentally friendly kraft paper. At best, it can only be considered as kraft paper and is not allowed to be used on food packaging.
