Cigarette Inner Lining Paper: This is the paper lining the inside of cigarette packs, providing a certain degree of moisture resistance and aroma retention for the cigarettes.

Nowadays, environmental sustainability and safety have become the primary considerations for consumers when selecting products. Currently, the mainstream inner lining paper products in the cigarette market are aluminum foil laminated paper or metallized paper, which pose potential safety risks due to metal residues and also contribute to environmental pollution. In response to national low-carbon initiatives, domestic and international tobacco companies are actively collaborating with enterprises to develop green, non-aluminum inner lining paper, with the intention of replacing traditional aluminum foil inner lining paper with these eco-friendly alternatives.

3、 Key Performance Evaluation Criteria for Non-Aluminum Inner Lining Paper


  • Water Vapor Transmission Rate: Before embossing, it should be less than 300 g/m²·day; after embossing, it should range between 500-800 g/m²·day.

  • Machine Adaptability: The inner lining paper must meet machine adaptability requirements, enabling mass production.

  • Health and Safety Standards: The 24 solvent residue tests must comply with national tobacco regulations.



4、 Key Economic Evaluation Criteria


The market capacity for cigarette inner lining paper in China is approximately 80,000 tons, with over 90% currently being aluminum-containing inner lining paper. The global market for cigarette packaging materials is vast, with annual production reaching hundreds of thousands to millions of tons. As a green packaging material, coated inner lining paper aligns with the development trends of cigarette packaging both domestically and internationally.

    Three Generations of Model Workers, One Legacy of Innovation — Shiner's 30-Year Journey of Breakthroughs

    On the eve of International Workers' Day, Hainan Changguang Satellite Information Technology Co., Ltd., a strategic investment of Shiner Industrial, was awarded the "National May 1st Labor Certificate" for 2026, becoming one of Hainan Province's most prominent innovation benchmarks. This honor reflects Shiner's deep-rooted "spirit of model workers": In 2016, Chief Technical Engineer Li Tan received the National May 1st Labor Medal; in 2022, Technical Center Director Wang Junfeng received the Hainan Provincial May 1st Labor Medal; and in 2026, Hainan Changguang Satellite earned the National May 1st Labor Certificate. Over the decade, Shiner has transitioned from traditional film to aerospace big data, proving that innovation is a commitment ingrained in its culture.

    Li Tan, a national model worker, began as a machine operator and led his team to develop a BOPP cigarette packaging film matching international performance in 1998, overcoming market dominance of expensive imported products. He later pioneered laser holographic anti-counterfeiting film technology and co-authored China's national production standard for laser anti-counterfeiting films. Holding 13 invention patents, he established an innovation framework for his team: "Produce one generation, develop one generation, reserve one generation."

    Wang Junfeng, a provincial model worker, received the Hainan Provincial May 1st Labor Medal in 2022, the same year Shiner was recognized as a specialized SME. He led technical breakthroughs in easy-tear cigarette films, co-extruded naked wrap films, hot-stamping films, high-grade colored aluminum films, moisture-retention packaging base films, and finished moisture-retention packaging, continuously elevating Shiner's product portfolio to higher technical platforms.
