YG Group has released a video showing the new production line and auxiliary supercalender system in operation.

The video presents key stages such as stock preparation, paper forming, drying, defect inspection, supercalendering, trimming, slitting, automatic packaging and intelligent warehouse handling.

Why This Upgrade Matters

Base paper is an important part of the label and adhesive material supply chain. Its stability can directly affect downstream processing and final product quality.

For label converters, release liner producers, printers and packaging material suppliers, paper quality can influence:

• Coating uniformity
• Silicone release performance
• Adhesive coating stability
• Printing clarity
• Die-cutting and slitting quality
• Roll flatness and winding performance

With the new production line, YG Group can better support customers who require reliable paper materials for label production, release liner processing, printing and packaging applications.

This upgrade also connects with YG Group's broader label paper material portfolio, including glassine paper, thermal paper, thermal transfer paper and other paper-based materials.

Paper Making Process: From Stock Preparation to Winding

The new specialty paper making machine and auxiliary supercalender system support a controlled production process from fiber preparation to finished paper rolls.

The process starts with stock preparation and double-disc refining. The treated fiber then enters the wire and press section, where the paper web is formed and water is removed.

After that, the drying cylinder helps control moisture, while the sizing section improves paper properties according to application requirements. Defect inspection and winding are then carried out before the material moves to further processing or packaging.

Main process stages include:

• Stock preparation
• Double-disc refining
• Wire and press section
• Drying cylinder
• Sizing section
• Defect inspection
• Winding

These stages help improve formation, basis weight stability, thickness control and roll consistency.

Quality Testing for Consistent Paper Performance

Advanced equipment must be supported by strict quality control.

YG Group checks key paper properties during and after production to support downstream printing, laminating, slitting and label converting.

Main testing items include:

• Sampling
• Basis weight sampling and testing
• Thickness test
• Tensile strength test in transverse and longitudinal directions
• Tear strength test
• Surface water absorption test
• Dust test
• Moisture testing
• Defect inspection

Basis weight and thickness control help maintain material consistency. Strength testing helps evaluate paper performance during converting and end use. Surface water absorption, dust and moisture testing help check whether the material is suitable for further processing.

Supercalendering for Better Surface Smoothness

The auxiliary supercalender system is an important part of this production upgrade.

Supercalendering helps improve paper smoothness, surface appearance and thickness uniformity. These properties are especially important for glassine paper, release base paper, label paper materials and coating base paper.

The supercalendering process includes:

• Unwinding
• Supercalendering
• Trimming
• Defect inspection
• Moisture testing
• Slitting
• Automatic packaging
• Intelligent automated warehouse storage

A smoother and more uniform paper surface can help improve silicone coating, adhesive coating, printing appearance and slitting quality.

Supporting Label, Release and Thermal Paper Materials

This new production line supports YG Group’s paper-based material development and supply capability.

It can support material development for:

• Glassine base paper
• Silicone-coated glassine release paper
• Release base paper
• Label facestock paper
• Thermal paper
• Thermal transfer paper
• Coating base paper and other customized paper materials

For label and release material customers, poor thickness uniformity, unstable moisture, high dust levels or uneven surface smoothness may affect coating, printing, die-cutting and roll converting.

Through this upgrade, YG Group aims to provide more reliable paper material support for both standard and customized applications.

Customer Value

For customers, the key value of this upgrade is not only improved production capability, but also better process control and more dependable material performance.

The new production line helps improve:

• Paper surface quality
• Basis weight and thickness control
• Moisture control
• Roll stability
• Broader paper material options
• Long-term supply support
• Technical support for label and release paper applications

This is especially valuable for customers who need consistent paper materials for label production, release liner processing, packaging, converting or specialty printing applications.
