GL-X-P coated paper, so that paper products can also easily “waterproof”

Recently, as a global leader in packaging and decorative materials, Toppan has created a new barrier coating paper GL-X-P. The paper has high water vapor barrier properties and excellent bending resistance, is suitable for a variety of contents and packaging shapes, and is successful in the challenge of creating paper-based high barrier packaging.
1. Paper packaging with high barrier performance
Through the development of Toppan’s original GL barrier products, and excellent workability, GL-X-P is suitable for a variety of contents and packaging shapes.
2. Reduce carbon dioxide emissions
GL-X-P using paper as the substrate material can not only eliminate the laminating process, but also can replace the aluminum foil structure. Compared with traditional plastic film products, it reduces carbon dioxide emissions by about 35%.
3. Switch to paper as a single material to reduce plastic consumption to zero
Ordinary packaging uses a material structure that combines various components with a sealant layer containing plastic material, while GL-X-P is composed of only paper material and coatings with thermal sealing properties, almost reducing the plastic consumption of packaging to zero.

4. Packaging design can be made by using the appearance and feeling of paper
The excellent barrier of GL-X-P can not only reduce the use of other film and other materials, but also be conducive to packaging design, which can show the unique appearance and feeling of the paper itself in the application process.

epilogue
With the establishment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and the growing global momentum to protect the environment and conserve resources. Product packaging needs to maintain freshness, keep the contents for longer periods, and reduce the environmental impact through resource conservation and recycling. As a new paper-based extension to the range of existing thin film products, GL-X-P extends the possible use of the GL barrier and is successful in the challenge of creating paper-based high-barrier packaging with the goal of mass production in 2022. Toppan: ” We will encourage the development of the GL-X-P and become its lineup by creating new barrier-coated packaging paper products. By combining this barrier film with the same sealing material, we are able to provide a variety of individual packages that combine the barrier and environmental characteristics suitable for all applications.”
