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.

    Hainan Shiner: Setting the Benchmark for Smart Manufacturing in Hainan

    Hainan Shiner Industrial Co., Ltd. has recently been recognized as a Hainan Provincial Single-Champion Manufacturing Enterprise, an honor for companies leading in niche manufacturing sectors. The "Invest in the Free Trade Port · Champion Enterprise Research Tour" visited Hainan Shiner, showcasing the company's innovative growth within the Free Trade Port. Through high-precision R&D, industry-leading production technology, and a global presence, Hainan Shiner earned this honor, demonstrating the strength of Hainan Smart Manufacturing through a single piece of film. These functional films, one-third the thickness of a human hair, use multi-layer co-extrusion composite technology to offer toughness, high shrinkage, and outstanding transparency. Unlike traditional printed packaging, they rely on embossed holographic technology to naturally produce a dynamic, iridescent luster, like butterfly wings, with moisture-proof, anti-counterfeiting, and abrasion-resistant properties, making them a key export to Vietnam. The company has also developed BOPLA biodegradable tobacco packaging films that fully degrade in natural environments, offering a green alternative for tobacco, food, and consumer goods. To achieve manufacturing excellence, Hainan Shiner operates a National Local Joint Engineering Research Center, a Hainan Provincial Film Engineering Research Center, and a Ministry of Commerce-certified Packaging Film R&D Platform, supporting fully customizable products with patented technology. Its production line features high-end custom equipment from Brückner, Germany, for ultra-high-ratio stretching. Leveraging Free Trade Port policies, the company has expanded into 30+ countries and regions globally. Looking ahead, winning this title drives further progress toward deepening green functional film materials, pushing boundaries with top-tier products and core technology, and advancing on the global stage.
