What is Thai KK's production capacity for food packaging paper?

Thai KK operates at 25,000 MT annual production capacity, giving converters and food brands reliable, scalable supply with competitive pricing for both large-volume orders and specialized packaging needs.

What gsm range and paper types do you offer for cupstock and food box board?

We offer a basis weight range from 50–400 gsm, with a wide range of base paper choices at bulk density 1.3–1.5, supporting everything from lightweight cupstock to heavy-duty food box board.

Is your food packaging paper food-safe certified?

Yes. All Thai KK food-grade packaging paper is manufactured under GHPs (Good Hygiene Practices) certification, produced in a closed-room / clean-room facility to ensure consistent, contamination-free quality for food-contact applications.

PE vs PP vs PLA vs PBS: which is best for food packaging?

The right coating depends on the application: PE offers the lowest cost and best moisture barrier for everyday cups and containers; PP handles higher heat for microwave and oven use; PLA and PBS provide industrial compostability for sustainable packaging, with PBS offering better durability and processability than PLA alone.

Which coating is best for microwave or oven-safe packaging?

PP (polypropylene) coated paper is the best choice for microwave- and oven-safe food packaging, offering higher heat resistance than PE or PLA — making it ideal for bowls, boxes, and containers for reheating.

What is PE-coated paper used for?

PE (polyethylene) coated paper is the most common food-grade coating for cups, bowls, and takeaway containers. It provides excellent moisture and liquid barrier protection, seals well during cup and box forming, and offers reliable performance for cold and moderately hot food and beverage applications.

Is PLA-coated paper microwave or oven safe?

No, PLA-coated paper is not microwave or oven safe. It performs best in cold-to-warm food and beverage applications where industrial compostability is the priority, such as eco-friendly cups, bowls, and takeaway packaging.

What's the difference between PLA and PBS coatings?

PLA is 100% bio-based and industrially compostable, while PBS is typically a bio-based blend (around 50–60% bio-based, 40–50% petroleum-based). PBS generally offers better flexibility, toughness, and processability than PLA, and is often blended with PLA to improve sealing and mechanical performance in food packaging.
