How PE-Coated Paper Roll is Made | Zhejiang Ruida Machinery

What Is PE-Coated Paper Roll?

A PE-coated paper roll is made by laminating a thin layer of polyethylene (PE) onto base paper using an extrusion process. This coating provides a moisture-proof, grease-resistant, and heat-sealable surface, making it ideal for food contact packaging.

Types of PE-Coated Paper:

  • Single-sided PE (Single PE) – Coated on one side; mainly used for hot drink cups.
  • Double-sided PE (Double PE) – PE on both sides; used for cold drinks or oily foods.

Why PE-Coated Paper for Paper Cups?

Polyethylene prevents liquids from soaking through the paper and ensures the cup can be heat sealed during the forming process. Additional benefits include:

  • Moisture resistance
  • Grease and oil resistance
  • Heat-sealability for machine forming
  • Printable surface for custom branding
  • FDA & SGS compliant for food contact

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is PE-coated paper food safe?

Yes, all PE we use is food-grade and certified by FDA, SGS, and LFGB.

Can PE-coated paper be recycled?

Standard PE-coated paper requires specialized recycling facilities. It’s not biodegradable, but is recyclable where infrastructure exists. Alternatives like PLA-coated paper are compostable.

What GSM is best for hot drink cups?

  • 170–190gsm with single PE: Ideal for 6oz to 12oz cups
  • 250gsm+: For large or double PE applications

What’s the difference between PE and PLA coating?

  • PE: Cost-effective, widely used, not compostable
  • PLA: Biodegradable, eco-friendly, but higher cost and needs industrial composting
