PE Coated Paper Manufacturer High Barrier Food Grade Greenlano

What is Greenlano PE Coated Paper?

We engineer Greenlano PE Coated Paper to solve a fundamental packaging challenge: protecting your products from moisture, oil, and structural failure. At its core, this product is a high-performance composite material. We take premium base paper—such as robust Kraft, durable Cupstock, or clean Bleached Board—and fuse it with a uniform layer of protective polyethylene (PE) resin.

This structural bond is achieved through high-speed extrusion coated packaging paper technology. Instead of using simple lamination glues that can fail under stress, our thermal extrusion process melts the PE resin directly onto the paper fibers. This creates an inseparable, pinhole-free barrier that enhances the paper’s natural strength while adding vital resistance to liquids and grease.

Structural Options: Single vs. Double PE Coated Paper

Choosing between single and double PE coated paper comes down to controlling moisture, managing temperature, and understanding your packaging environment. We engineer both formats to ensure optimal barrier performance and high structural integrity.

Feature	Single-Sided PE Coated Paper (Single PE)	Double-Sided PE Coated Paper (Double PE)
Layer Structure	Base Paper + 1 Layer of PE Film	1 Layer of PE Film + Base Paper + 1 Layer of PE Film
Moisture Protection	One-sided internal barrier	Dual-sided internal and external barrier
Best For	Hot drinks, dry foods, box liners	Cold drinks, ice cream, deep-freeze items
Printability	Outstanding on the raw paper exterior	Requires specialized treatment for outer PE printing

Single-Sided PE Coated Paper (Single PE)

This structure bonds a single layer of protective polyethylene resin to the interior side of the premium base paperboard. It creates a reliable moisture barrier on the inside while keeping the exterior raw and textured. This raw paper surface is perfect for vivid branding, high-speed printing, and a tactile, premium grip.

Single PE is the standard choice for hot beverage cups, burger sheets, dry food packaging, and industrial box liners. For greasy fast-food applications that do not require full moisture barriers, you can also view our high-performance food grade greaseproof paper options.

Double-Sided PE Coated Paper (Double PE)

Double PE sandwiches the base paper between two uniform layers of PE film. This dual-layer build is necessary for cold environments. When a cold beverage or frozen item sits at room temperature, condensation forms on the outside of the packaging. Without an exterior poly coating, that condensation would soak into the paper matrix, causing the cup or tub to soften and collapse.

By sealing both sides, double-sided PE coated paper resists structural deformation from the inside out. It is the global industry standard for cold beverage cups, ice cream tubs, and deep-freeze packaging.

Single-Sided PE Coated Paper (Single PE)

Our single-sided PE paper (Single PE) delivers targeted barrier performance by bonding a single layer of protective polyethylene film to a premium base paper substrate. This engineered structure keeps the interior completely shielded from moisture while leaving the exterior surface raw, tactile, and ready for high-fidelity branding.

• The Structural Build: Base Paper + 1 Layer of PE Film
• Surface Advantage: The exterior retains its natural paper texture, making it highly printable and compatible with standard high-speed converting machinery.

Best-Use Applications

This specific layout is ideal for environments where moisture or grease attacks from one side only. It is the industry standard for manufacturing hot beverage cups, as the interior PE layer prevents structural softening while the outer paper shell stays cool to the touch and easy to grip.

In food service, it serves as an excellent foundation for dry food packaging, protective industrial box liners, and high-performance sandwich wrapping paper or greaseproof burger sheets. The single-layer extrusion coating effectively contains oils and liquids without adding unnecessary bulk to the material profile.

Double-Sided PE Coated Paper (Double PE)

Double-sided PE coated paper features a specialized three-layer sandwich structure: one layer of PE film + premium base paper + one layer of PE film. By applying high-density extrusion coating to both sides of the paperboard, we create a fully encapsulated moisture barrier that protects the packaging from internal liquids and external environmental factors.

This advanced double-sided PE coated paper is engineered specifically for challenging thermal environments where condensation is unavoidable. It is widely utilized across global food service markets for premium restaurant and takeaway packaging solutions.

• Structure: PE Film / Base Paper Board / PE Film
• Best For: Cold beverage cups, ice cream tubs, yogurt bowls, frozen food boxes, and deep-freeze packaging.
• Core Performance: When a cold drink hits warm air, sweat forms on the outside of the cup. Standard single-lined paper absorbs this sweat, causing the cup to soften, sag, and fail. Our double PE barrier blocks this external condensation entirely, keeping the paper matrix rigid and structurally sound from the freezer to the consumer’s hand.

Choosing the Right Surface Finish for PE Coated Paper

When we manufacture our PE coated paper, we don’t just focus on the internal barrier; the outer finish matters just as much for your brand’s performance and presentation. We offer two distinct surface variations depending on your specific packaging environment and aesthetic goals.

PE Coated Paper: Frequently Asked Questions

Can you print directly onto PE coated paper?

Yes, you can print directly onto our poly coated paper rolls. We treat the surface with a high-performance corona treatment. This process raises the surface energy of the polyethylene layer, ensuring excellent ink adhesion and crisp graphics. For single-sided PE paper, most clients print directly onto the raw paper side for a natural look, while double-sided options are optimized for vibrant, full-color printing on both faces.

What is the difference between LDPE and HDPE coatings on paper?

The choice comes down to flexibility versus stiffness. We tailor these extrusion coated packaging paper options to your specific application:

• LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene): The industry standard for food grade PE cupstock and heat-sealable barrier paper. It offers excellent flexibility, strong heat-sealing capabilities, and reliable moisture protection.
• HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene): Provides a stiffer, more robust barrier with higher temperature resistance and superior greaseproof barrier paper properties. It is ideal for demanding industrial packaging and heavy-duty grease resistance.

Is PE coated paper recyclable?

Yes. Modern recycling facilities utilize specialized hydrapulper separation lines to process PE laminated paper sheets. These high-shear systems successfully detach the protective plastic film from the wood fibers. The reclaimed high-grade pulp is then funneled back into the paper manufacturing supply chain, minimizing environmental waste.

How long is the standard factory lead time for custom jumbo rolls?

Our standard production lead time for custom poly kraft packaging roll orders and jumbo sheets is 15 to 22 business days. This timeline covers precision extrusion coating, inline camera quality inspections, and heavy-duty, moisture-proof export packaging.
