BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) colored synthetic paper is widely used in various labeling and packaging fields due to its excellent physical properties and printing adaptability. However, with the increasing global emphasis on environmental protection and sustainable development, finding alternatives to BOPP colored synthetic paper has become an important issue. Here are some products that can replace BOPP colored synthetic paper:
1、 New environmentally friendly film material
New plant-based film-forming materials:
Characteristics: This material can dissolve in water and degrade, meeting environmental requirements. It forms a "film like" state after being coated on the surface of paper products, with strong toughness and crack propagation resistance, and insulation performance comparable to BOPP polypropylene film.
Application: It can widely replace traditional BOPP glossy film, BOPP tactile film, and BOPP matte film, and can also be used for aluminum foil printing to solve the problems of metal oxidation and inability to print on traditional aluminum foil paper after printing. In addition, it can also be applied in food grade card boxes and pulp molding processes to solve problems such as fluoride and oil resistance.
2、 Other synthetic paper materials
PP (polypropylene) synthetic paper:
Raw materials: Polypropylene resin is the main raw material.
Features: Light weight, high strength, tear resistance, good printing adaptability, light shielding, UV resistance, durability, and environmentally friendly raw material sources and manufacturing processes. It can be 100% recycled and reused.
Application: Suitable for various label and packaging applications that require high strength and durability.
PET (polyethylene terephthalate) synthetic paper:
Characteristics: It has excellent heat resistance, chemical stability, and mechanical properties.
Application: Commonly used for label applications that require high heat resistance and stability.
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) synthetic paper:
Characteristics: Although the heat resistance is relatively poor, it has the characteristic of recyclability.
Application: Suitable for label applications that do not require high heat resistance.
HDPE (high-density polyethylene) synthetic paper:
Raw materials: High density polyethylene resin is the main raw material.
Features: It has excellent tear resistance and wear resistance.
Application: Commonly used for label applications that require high mechanical performance.
PS (polystyrene) synthetic paper:
Raw materials: Polystyrene resin is the main raw material.
Features: High transparency, smooth surface, and good printing effect.
Application: Commonly used for label applications that require clear image display.
3、 Non synthetic paper substitutes
Fabric: Soft and suitable for packaging irregularly shaped gifts, and can also be given as an additional gift.
Old newspapers, old maps: with a retro style, can be used to package gifts with travel themes or retro styles.
Reusable containers or bags, such as jars, bags, etc., can hide gifts and bring a sense of anticipation, while reducing the use of packaging paper.
In summary, there are many types of products that can replace BOPP colored synthetic paper, ranging from new environmentally friendly film materials to other synthetic paper materials, and even to non synthetic paper alternatives. Enterprises can comprehensively consider specific application scenarios, needs, and cost budgets to choose suitable alternatives.
