King Size Type Cigarette Paper Filter Expansion Rate Soaked 3.5±0.5 Tipping Paper

Tipping paper is one of the most important non-tobacco materials in cigarette packaging. Throughout the years, the manufacturing technologies of tipping paper has been gradually upgraded, from the simple 1-2 color printing to multicolor printing, micro/laser perforation and hotfoil stamping etc.

Nowadays, a great part of tipping papers is carrying the brand names and logos of the cigarettes. In some sense, the quality of tipping papers represents the quality of the cigarettes. Customers are attaching greater importance to the design and quality of tipping paper, in order to make sure exclusive appearances to reflect the brand images.

The tobacco industry has required a means of reducing tar content of inhaled smoke from cigarettes for some time now. One effective way of achieving this is to perforate the tipping paper (cork or plain) which wraps the cigarette filter plug. Air is drawn into and mixed with the smoke as the smoker inhales resulting in two effects on the smoke. The first is that it is diluted and the second is that the air-smoke mixture is cooled. The dilution of the smoke probably has little significant effect since the total smoke inhaled per cigarette is always the same. The cooling of the smoke, however, causes the tar present to condense more readily on the filter plug and so represents a genuine reduction in tar content. In the light of increasing health consciousness both from popular movement or deliberate Government propaganda the importance of this method of tar reduction is well recognised in the industry.
