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.
