Suitable for making papercups, food packaging boxes, industrial moisture-proofpaper and labels, etc.

PE Paper

PE paper combines moisture resistance with printability, making it the standard substrate for food-contact label and packaging applications.

GGIN flexographic printing machines process PE paper across water-based and UV ink systems, supporting production of paper cups, food packaging boxes, industrial moisture-proof wrapping, and pressure-sensitive labels for wet environments.

Food Packaging Boxes
Industrial Moisture-proof Paper
Labels

BOPP Film

Biaxially oriented polypropylene film delivers high optical clarity, excellent moisture barrier properties, and strong dimensional stability — making it the dominant substrate for food packaging, cigarette overwrap, adhesive tape base film, and printed lamination structures.

GGIN slitting rewinders and flexographic printing machines are configured for BOPP film processing at high production speeds, with tension control systems optimized for the low-elongation characteristics of oriented film.

Food Packaging
Cigarette Packaging
Tape Substrate
Printed Lamination

Used for food packaging, cigarette packaging, tapesubstrates, printed productlamination, etc.

Used for electronic product protective films, food packaging (beverage bottle
labels), heat shrink film packaging, etc.

PET Film

Polyester film offers superior tensile strength, heat resistance, and surface clarity compared to most flexible substrates, supporting demanding applications including electronic product protective films, beverage bottle labels, heat shrink film packaging, and high-barrier flexible packaging structures.

GGIN converting equipment handles PET film from 12 microns upward, with registration accuracy maintained across all print stations for multi-color label production on this dimensionally stable substrate.

Beverage Bottle Labels
Heat Shrink Film Packaging
Other Packaging

Thermal Paper

Direct thermal paper is the primary substrate for high-volume, print-on-demand label and document applications where no ink ribbon is required.

GGIN slitting rewinder machines convert large thermal paper master rolls into finished rolls for retail POS receipts, restaurant order tickets, logistics waybill labels, and event tickets — maintaining consistent roll hardness and edge quality for uninterrupted performance on thermal desktop and industrial printers.

Retail Receipts
Restaurant Receipts
Logistics Waybills
Tickets & Documents

Used for retail & restaurant receipts, logistics waybills,tickets, and other
document printing, etc.

Suitable for catering,takeaway, fruits and otherfood-related labeling applications.

Coated Paper

Coated paper substrates provide a smooth, receptive surface for high-resolution flexographic print output, making them the preferred choice for food service labeling applications where print clarity and adhesion quality directly affect brand presentation.

GGIN printing and die cutting equipment processes coated paper for catering labels, takeaway packaging stickers, fresh produce identification labels, and food lacquering applications across retail and food service supply chains.

Takees & Spirits
Fruits
Food Lacuming

PP Synthetic Paper

PP synthetic paper is a durable waterproof substrate made from polypropylene resin, offering excellent tear resistance, moisture resistance, and dimensional stability for industrial labels and outdoor applications.

GGIN printing and converting equipment processes PP synthetic paper for pharmaceutical labels, chemical labels, industrial identification labels, and other applications requiring long-lasting printed materials.

Pharmaceuticals
Wines & Spirits
Industrial Products
Chemical Labels

Suitable for pharmaceuticals, wine & spirits, industrial products and other
durable labeling needs.
