Plug wrap paper, also known as tipping paper, is a specialized type of paper used in the production of cigarettes. It serves as a protective and decorative layer around the tobacco column and the filter plug. The primary purpose of plug wrap paper is to maintain the structural integrity of the cigarette and prevent any tobacco from falling out during manufacturing and distribution. Manufacturers often use advanced printing techniques on plug wrap paper to incorporate branding elements, health warnings, and attractive designs. The paper is typically made from a blend of wood pulp and other fibers to ensure strength, flexibility, and resistance to heat. As the tobacco industry focuses on sustainability and eco-friendly practices, plug wrap paper is also evolving to meet environmental standards.
