Compared with other similar colored packaging materials, BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) colored synthetic paper has multiple advantages. Here is a detailed analysis of these advantages:


1、 Physical performance advantages

Lightweight and high strength:

BOPP colored synthetic paper is mainly made of polypropylene, which is lightweight and easy to carry and transport.

At the same time, BOPP film prepared by biaxial stretching process has high tensile strength and elastic modulus, making BOPP color synthetic paper also have excellent tear strength and bending fatigue resistance.

Good dimensional stability:

During the biaxial stretching process, the molecular chains of BOPP film are arranged in an orderly manner, resulting in excellent dimensional stability and resistance to deformation.

This characteristic is also retained in BOPP color synthetic paper, suitable for packaging and application fields that require precise size control.

High transparency and glossiness:

BOPP film has high transparency, and BOPP colored synthetic paper can clearly display the background of images or text on its transparent substrate before being subjected to thermal reactions.

Meanwhile, the glossiness of BOPP film is usually greater than 85%, which enables BOPP colored synthetic paper to present a more high-end and attractive visual effect during printing and use.

2、 Advantages of Thermal Coating Technology

Vibrant and long-lasting colors:

BOPP color synthetic paper is coated with a thermosensitive coating composed of water-based resin, thermosensitive agent, color developing agent, and sensitizer on the surface of BOPP substrate.

By continuously optimizing the coating formula, the sensitivity, stability, and color vividness of the thermosensitive coating have been improved, resulting in clearer, finer, and more durable printed images.

Environmentally friendly and safe:

In thermal coating technology, BOPP color synthetic paper focuses on the application of environmentally friendly materials, such as using water-based resins and other environmentally friendly materials instead of traditional solvent based materials, reducing environmental pollution.

At the same time, BOPP film and thermosensitive coating materials meet safety and environmental protection requirements, are non-toxic, odorless, and tasteless, and are suitable for applications that come into direct contact with food and drugs.

3、 Advantages in Printing and Processing Performance

Good printing adaptability:

After corona treatment, BOPP colored synthetic paper has good printing adaptability and can achieve exquisite appearance effects.

It is suitable for various printing processes and equipment, such as digital printing, flexographic printing and other high-precision printing technologies, making synthetic paper more adept at printing complex patterns and text.

Easy to process and shape:

BOPP colored synthetic paper has good flexibility and plasticity, and is easy to process and shape.

It can be conveniently cut, folded, pasted, etc., meeting various packaging and printing needs.

4、 Multi functional advantages

Multi functional coating:

On the basis of thermal sensitive coatings, BOPP color synthetic paper can further develop multifunctional coatings, such as scratch resistant and wear-resistant coatings, antibacterial coatings, anti-static coatings, etc.

The addition of these functional coatings enables BOPP color synthetic paper to maintain its original advantages while also possessing more special functions, meeting the needs of different fields.

Smart tag technology:

With the development of the Internet of Things and intelligent technology, BOPP color synthetic paper can also be combined with smart tag technologies such as RFID and NFC.

This provides a more convenient and efficient solution for asset management and inventory monitoring in the office field.

5、 Cost benefit advantage

High production efficiency:

BOPP color synthetic paper adopts advanced coating and printing technologies, such as wet coating, gravure coating, reverse coating, etc.

These technologies have advantages such as simple equipment, low processing costs, and suitability for large-scale production, ensuring the quality and stability of coatings while improving production efficiency.

High cost-effectiveness:

Compared to traditional packaging materials, BOPP colored synthetic paper may be more cost-effective.

It not only has excellent physical properties and printing effects, but also has a relatively reasonable price that can meet various budget needs.


In summary, BOPP color synthetic paper has shown excellent performance in physical properties, thermal sensitive coating technology, printing and processing performance, multifunctionality, and cost-effectiveness. These advantages make BOPP color synthetic paper have broad application prospects and market demand in the fields of packaging and printing.
