Polyethylene-Coated Paper – Durability, Barrier Protection, and Versatility in One Material
PE paper, or polyethylene-coated paper, is a functional material that combines the advantages of classic paper with the protective properties of plastic. Thanks to the polyethylene layer, the paper gains exceptional resistance to moisture, water vapour, grease, and mechanical factors. For this reason, PE-laminated paper is widely used in the packaging, food, technical, and construction industries.
The Dolpap range includes various types of polyethylene-coated paper, including specialist siliconised paper with polyethylene, designed for tasks requiring dimensional stability and repeatable technical properties.

What Is Polyethylene-Coated Paper?
PE laminated paper is made by applying a thin polyethylene layer to one or both sides of the base paper. This layer:
- Acts as a barrier paper – protecting against water, steam, and grease
- Allows for heat sealing in packaging processes
- Reinforces the structure – improving resistance to tearing, wrinkling, and deformation
- Makes the material suitable for demanding industrial and environmental conditions
Such PE-coated paper can be used as packaging material, separator, protective layer, or food-grade paper.
Types of PE Paper Available from Dolpap

Optional: printed layers with technical, branding, or informational content
Applications of PE-Coated Paper
1. Food Industry
- Food-grade paper – ideal for wrapping butter, cheese, meat, confectionery, and baked goods
- Barrier paper – protects against grease and moisture
2. Packaging Industry
- Paper with polyethylene film as a protective layer in multilayer packaging
- PE laminated paper for bags, sachets, cartons, and moisture-resistant envelopes
3. Construction and Technical Industries
- Polyethylene-coated paper as a separating, insulating, or protective layer
- Used as a carrier for coatings, lamination, and sealing
Silicone-Coated Polyethylene Paper – Advanced Applications
Dolpap also offers silicone-coated polyethylene paper, which combines anti-adhesive and protective functions. It is ideal for processes that demand:
- Perfect surface flatness
- Dimensional stability (no curling or wrinkling)
- High mechanical resistance
This type, known as PCK (polyethylene-coated kraft), is commonly used for:
- Backing for advertising banners (graphic industry)
- Liners in automotive applications (e.g., vehicle wraps)
- Separating paper in construction and industrial manufacturing
Coating technologies: solventless and UV
Common grammages: 60–150 gsm
Widths: 15–1600 mm
Color: white
Key Advantages of PE-Coated Paper
