Choosing the right packaging paper requires comprehensive consideration of paper type, key performance indicators, and specific application scenarios to achieve a balance between protection, aesthetics, and cost-effectiveness.
In practical applications, different types of packaging paper, due to differences in raw materials, processing technology, and physical properties, are suitable for different product needs. The following is a systematic overview of common packaging paper types, their core properties, and typical application scenarios:
Comparison of Common Packaging Paper Types and Characteristics
Kraft Paper
Characteristics: Tough texture, strong tear resistance, folding and abrasion resistant, with good load-bearing and moisture-proof capabilities.
Application Scenarios: Express packaging, industrial product transportation, food outer bags (such as bread bags), tea outer packaging, etc.
Advantages: Environmentally friendly and recyclable, low cost, suitable for high-intensity transportation needs.
White Cardboard
Characteristics: Smooth, white surface; high hardness; excellent printability; suitable for multi-color, high-quality printing.

Advantages: Enhances brand image; strong visual texture.
Coated Paper (Painted Printing Paper)
Characteristics: High gloss; high color fidelity; vibrant and clear printing results.
Applications: Shopping bags, labels, brochures, premium packaging covers, etc.
Caution: Not resistant to moisture; avoid use in high-humidity environments.
Corrugated Board
Characteristics: Made of a linerboard and a corrugated core paper bonded together; lightweight yet with excellent compression and shock resistance.
