In recent years, tipping paper has made great progress and innovation in function and use.

Nowadays, tipping paper uses a large amount of chemicals, such as inks, pigments, organic solvents, etc. in the printing process, which are very harmful to human health. Since the tipping paper is in direct contact with the smoker, the printing ink and coating of the tipping paper must be non-toxic, meet food hygiene requirements, and have certain water resistance and moisture resistance.

For example, in the past one or two years, pearlescent tipping paper, which is commonly used in domestic high-grade cigarettes, has been welcomed by cigarette companies because of its elegant and soft decorative effect. However, the sampling inspection by the National Tobacco Standards Center showed that a large part of the pearlescent tipping paper contained excessive levels of harmful substances such as aluminum and arsenic.
