Gracin release paper: a high-quality choice that leads the market with high transparency

Gracin paper production technology and characteristics
Gracin paper is a kind of super-calendered paper. During its production process, it has been calendered multiple times, making the fiber arrangement of the paper extremely tight. This process makes Gracin paper denser than ordinary paper, thereby significantly improving its transparency. Because of this tight fiber structure, light is hardly scattered when passing through the paper, allowing Gracin paper to exhibit extremely high clarity and smoothness.

After special treatment, its fiber not only has high transparency, but also has excellent oil resistance and waterproof properties, which makes Gracin release paper a great advantage in products that require clear observation or moisture-proof properties, such as food packaging, pharmaceutical products, and tapes. It is often used in high-quality labels, stickers, packaging covers and some special printing needs to ensure that the packaging looks beautiful while protecting the contents from the external environment.

Comparison with other types of release paper
Although there are many types of release paper to choose from on the market, such as Kraft Release Paper and Silicone-coated Release Paper, Gracin release paper is used in many applications due to its transparency advantage. It performs even better in applications.

1. Kraft release paper: loose structure and insufficient transparency
Kraft release paper usually has an opaque brown or beige color because of its relatively loose fiber structure and has not been calendered. Although this type of paper has good strength and tear resistance, it is far inferior to Gracin release paper in terms of transparency. Therefore, kraft release paper is used more for industrial purposes, such as packaging, construction materials, etc. These scenarios do not have high requirements for the transparency of the paper, but pay more attention to its sturdiness and durability.

2. Silicone-coated release paper: multifunctional, but not as transparent as Gracin release paper
Silicone-coated release paper is a specially treated release paper. Its surface is coated with a layer of silicone oil, which can achieve a good release effect. Depending on the substrate, silicone-coated release paper can have a certain degree of transparency, especially on some lightweight substrates. However, compared to Gracin release paper, the transparency of silicone-coated release paper is still inferior. The main applications of silicone-coated release paper include stickers, labels and medical supplies packaging, but in scenarios where high transparency is required, Gracin release paper is still the first choice.
