Coated cellophane is widely used in the packaging field and there is room for development in the industry.

Coated cellophane is a film made of natural fibers such as cotton pulp and wood pulp bonded with glue. Coated cellophane has the advantages of being non-toxic, odorless, heat-resistant, stretch-resistant, and not easy to absorb dust, and is widely used in the packaging field. There are many types of coated cellophane, which can usually be divided into three types: moisture-proof cellophane, polyethylene-coated cellophane and ordinary cellophane.

The main raw materials of coated cellophane are natural fibers such as cotton pulp and wood pulp. Natural fibers have the characteristics of sufficient elasticity, good softness, and good antistatic properties, and have broad application prospects in many fields such as textiles, papermaking, medical care, and aerospace. Taking wood pulp as an example, my country’s wood pulp output has maintained a rapid growth trend since 2012. According to statistics from the China Paper Industry Association, my country’s wood pulp output will reach 18.09 million tons in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 21.4%. The supply of raw materials is sufficient, laying the foundation for the development of the coated cellophane industry.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​: Moisture-proof cellophane is usually made by dissolving polymers such as polyvinyl chloride copolymer, nitrocellulose, polyvinylidene chloride copolymer, etc., and has the advantages of water resistance and moisture resistance. Ethylene-coated cellophane is composed of polyethylene film and cellophane. It has the advantages of moisture-proof cellophane and ordinary cellophane, and is the best overall performance coated cellophane. Driven by downstream demand, polyethylene-coated cellophane is expected to become a mainstream product in the coated cellophane market.

Coated cellophane is mainly used in the packaging field, including pharmaceutical packaging, food packaging, cosmetic packaging, tobacco packaging, etc. According to statistics from the China Packaging Federation, my country’s packaging market will reach 1.20418 billion yuan in 2021, of which the paper packaging field will reach 319.2 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10.7%. Against this background, the market demand for coated cellophane in my country is increasingly strong. According to the “2023-2028 China Coated Cellophane Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, In 2021, my country’s coated cellophane market will reach 7.124 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 3.6%.

Japan is the world’s largest producer of coated cellophane, and Futamura Chemical Co., Ltd., as the leading Japanese coated cellophane company, occupies a dominant position in the global market. The main manufacturers of coated cellophane in my country include Weifang Henglian Cellophane Co., Ltd., Weifang Fangyuan Cellophane Co., Ltd., Chengdu Huaming Cellophane Co., Ltd., Shaoxing Shangyu Deqing Industry and Trade Co., Ltd., among which Weifang Henglian is the largest coated cellophane in my country. manufacturer.

Industry analysts said that coated cellophane has excellent performance and is widely used in the packaging field. As market demand is gradually released, the future development of the industry The prospects will be broader. Benefiting from the sufficient supply of raw materials, my country’s coated cellophane production continues to increase. At present, there is still a certain gap in the quality of my country’s coated cellophane compared with Japan. In the future, driven by the technological innovation of local companies, my country’s coated cellophane industry will develop in a high-quality direction.
