What are the links in the supply chain of BOPP thermal sensitive synthetic paper?

The supply chain of BOPP thermal sensitive synthetic paper mainly includes the following links:

1、 Raw material supply

The main raw materials for BOPP thermosensitive synthetic paper are polypropylene (PP) particles and various additives that may be added. These raw materials are usually provided by petrochemical companies, and they are the starting link in the supply chain. The quality and performance of polypropylene particles directly affect the physical and chemical properties of the final product.

2、 Production and manufacturing

Raw material preparation: Mix polypropylene particles and additives in a certain proportion, and heat and melt them into a melt.

Extrusion molding: The melt is extruded through the fine holes of the extruder die to form a continuous film.

Bi directional stretching: In a dedicated stretching machine, the film is stretched simultaneously or in steps in two vertical directions (longitudinal and transverse) at a certain temperature and set speed to enhance the mechanical and optical properties of the film.

Post processing: The stretched film may also require cooling, heat treatment, or special processing (such as corona treatment, coating, etc.) to meet the application requirements of the final product.

This process is usually completed by professional BOPP film production enterprises, which have advanced production lines and technologies to produce high-quality and diverse BOPP thermal sensitive synthetic paper products.

3、 Processing and conversion

After production, BOPP thermosensitive synthetic paper may require a series of processing and conversion processes to meet the needs of different application fields. For example, processes such as paper plastic composite, laser molding, and flexographic printing can endow BOPP thermosensitive synthetic paper with more functions and characteristics. These processing procedures are usually carried out by downstream film processing companies.

4、 Distribution and logistics

The produced BOPP thermosensitive synthetic paper needs to be delivered to end users through distribution channels. This includes intermediate links such as wholesalers, retailers, and agents. At the same time, logistics plays a crucial role in the entire supply chain, ensuring that raw materials and finished products can be delivered to various nodes in a timely and accurate manner.

5、 Terminal application

The terminal application fields of BOPP thermal sensitive synthetic paper are very wide, including but not limited to labels, bills, receipts, printing paper, etc. The demand in these application areas directly affects the supply and demand situation and price trend of the BOPP thermal synthetic paper market.

In summary, the supply chain of BOPP thermosensitive synthetic paper is a complex and sophisticated system that covers various links from raw material supply to end use applications. In this supply chain, each link is closely connected and interdependent, together forming the complete ecosystem of BOPP thermal synthetic paper industry.
