What is gummed coated paper?

Adhesive coated paper is a paper coated with a layer of adhesive on the coating of coated paper. Glued coated paper has good stickiness and can be pasted on various substrates. It is widely used in labels, stickers, hang tags, sealing tapes and other products.

The production process of gummed coated paper is basically the same as that of coated paper. While the coating is applied on the coated paper coating machine, a layer of adhesive is applied on the other end of the coating machine. The coated paper undergoes drying, calendering and other processes to make gummed coated paper.

Application fields of coated paper?

  • Printing: The water absorption and water resistance of water-activated coated paper can improve the adhesion and wear resistance of printed matter, and is suitable for printing various color printed matter, such as books, magazines, advertisements, etc.
  • Packaging: The water resistance of water-activated coated paper can prevent the packaging from getting damp and deteriorating during transportation. It is suitable for packaging food, beverages, electronic products, etc.
  • Others: Water-activated coated paper can also be used to make photo paper, color inkjet paper, etc.

Water activated coated paper is characterized by good printability, packaging and durability, making it an ideal material for the printing and packaging industry.

Production technology of water activated coated paper

The production process of water-activated coated paper is basically the same as that of coated paper. While the coating is applied on the coated paper coating machine, a layer of water-activated agent is coated on the other end of the coating machine.
