Synthetic Paper (BOPP)

Synthetic papers are manufactured from synthetic resins and exhibit properties similar to general papers. Our synthetic paper is based on biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP), combining paper-like handling with enhanced durability. It provides superior water resistance, foldability, tear resistance, and excellent printability, enabling high-quality results in labeling, commercial printing, packaging films and specialty applications.

NAGASE supplies BOPP synthetic paper in various grades tailored to segment needs—supported by technical guidance, documentation and global logistics.

BOPP synthetic paper covers labeling, coated base films, commercial printing, packaging and specialty uses.

• Labels – Pressure-sensitive, wrap-around, in-mold labels (injection/blow molded)
• Coated base films – Inkjet & digital media, substrate for thermal-sensitive paper, release liners
• Commercial printing – Ads, posters, banners, business cards, brochures, calendars, coupons, murals, graphics, tags, maps, menus, flags, publications, wall charts, pictures
• Packaging films – Raw-material bags, salt bags, shopping bags, BOPP card bags, flower sleeves, wrapping paper, food packaging, hotel amenities packaging
• Specialty – Tapes (protective, sticky roll, sealing/fixing), isolating papers/plates, laminates (table mats, glass cutting boards, face stock), album pages, bottle-cap liners, facial-mask liners, TPU/connector release liners

BOPP synthetic paper combines durability, processability and print performance across multiple grades.

• Superior water resistance – Maintains integrity under moisture exposure
• High foldability – Resists cracking and creasing in converting
• Tear resistance – Tougher than conventional cellulose paper
• Durability – Withstands handling, outdoor use and logistics
• Excellent printability – Compatible with common printing/coating systems
• Various grades – Optimized for labels, printing, packaging and liners

What is BOPP synthetic paper?
A polypropylene-based, biaxially oriented substrate that mimics paper handling while offering higher durability and water resistance.

Where is synthetic paper typically used?
In labels, coated base films (inkjet/digital, thermal substrates, release liners), commercial printing, packaging films, and specialty applications.

Why choose BOPP over cellulose paper?
BOPP provides water and tear resistance, long service life, and consistent print performance, especially for demanding environments.

Is BOPP synthetic paper printable?
Yes—grades are engineered for excellent printability and converting, supporting common printing and coating workflows.

Are different grades available?
Yes—NAGASE offers various grades tailored to labeling, printing, packaging and liner requirements, with technical support.
