Asia Symbol Technical Department Visits for Exchange: In-depth Analysis of Core Technologies for Food Packaging Paper, Exploring New Cooperation Possibilities
On November 5th, the Technical Department team of Asia Symbol (Shandong) Pulp & Paper Co., Ltd. visited Nanning Paperjoy Paper Co., Ltd. (Paperjoy Paper) and jointly held a product technical exchange seminar with Paperjoy. As an enterprise deeply engaged in the food Packaging Paper field for years, Paperjoy covers businesses oflaminated paper, cupstock paper and other product categories, with its trade network reaching over 100 countries and regions worldwide. It has won recognition in the international market with a sound supply chain system and strict quality control standards. The two parties conducted in-depth discussions on the technical characteristics, performance parameters and market application scenarios of Asia Symbol's food packaging paper series products, aiming to deepen cooperation through technology sharing and accurately meet the needs of global customers.
As the largest commodity chemical wood pulp manufacturer in Asia, Asia Symbol has two major production bases in Rizhao (Shandong) and Xinhui (Guangdong), with an annual production capacity of 2.2 million tons of commodity chemical wood pulp, accounting for one-tenth of China's total chemical wood pulp output. Relying on the advantages of the "pulp-paper-fiber integration" whole industrial chain, the company deeply cultivates the food packaging paper field, forming a multi-series core product matrix including coated white board, cupstock paper, dinner plate paper and lunch box paper, and has won wide market recognition with stable quality.
At this seminar, Asia Symbol's technical team highlighted the core competitive advantages of its products: multiple products have obtained various domestic and international authoritative certifications such as FDA, CCC, CFCC, PEFC, ISEGA and FCC, and a full-chain quality traceability system has been established. The content of heavy metal migration detected is far lower than national and industry standards, and relevant certificates for heavy metal testing can be provided. Food-grade white board and cupstock paper products are free of fluorescent agents, building a solid defense line for food contact safety from the source.
The two parties conducted in-depth exchanges on the technical details of core products:
Asia Symbol's coated white board, cupstock paper and other products can realize customized performance through pulp formulation adjustment to meet diversified needs. Among them, the difference in stiffness between the transverse and longitudinal directions of cupstock paper is much smaller than that of similar products in the market, which improves the yield rate and strength of finished cup products. Meanwhile, the 150gsm cupstock paper is specially developed for disposable cup scenarios, with performance accurately matching the core requirement of high stiffness for paper cups. Since its product positioning is different from the performance indicators such as leakage resistance, load-bearing capacity and stiffness required for paper bowls, it is not recommended for paper bowl production.
The two parties focused on key indicators of raw material paper such as stiffness, bulk ratio, grammage & thickness, leakage resistance and water release time control in paper cup production, as well as answers to common questions. Some conventional disposable paper cups have edge leakage when holding hot coffee; Asia Symbol has conducted in-depth research on specialized cupstock paper with oil leakage resistance, and successfully developed 1.4 bulk ratio special cupstock paper for milk tea and coffee, enhancing the protection against oil and dairy product penetration.
Asia Symbol's 210-245gsm food-grade white cardboard is suitable for making popcorn cones, paper plates, and other containers for holding non-liquid foods; 270-330gsm coated white cardboard is used for die-stamping special plates, suitable for high-efficiency die-stamping processing needs.
Asia Symbol' s technical team shared in-depth information on how to distinguish between GC1 and GC2 white cardboard: GC1 coated white board will show black lines when scratched with a key, while GC2 white cardboard will not; GC1 coated food-grade white cardboard (including back-coated and CaCO₃ coated versions), and GC2 food container paper is suitable for ultrasonic bonding.
This technical exchange seminar not only deepened the two parties' understanding of Asia Symbol's food packaging paper technology, but also laid a solid foundation for subsequent precise cooperation. Paperjoy will rely on its global trade channels and customer service experience, combined with Asia Symbol's technological and production capacity advantages, to provide more suitable product solutions for global food packaging enterprises.
