Release Paper
Glassine / PE-Coated / Clay-Coated Range
Finished roll stock combining a paper base with a release coating - the carrier behind label liners, synthetic-leather transfer coating, EVA foam and double-sided tape lines. Four grades in the LY-RP series, led by white glassine and white kraft PE-coated, plus clay-coated and embossed mesh. Single or double-sided silicone, with slitting, sheeting and punching to your spec, and special colors made to order.

What is release paper?
Release paper (also called a release liner) is roll stock made by coating a paper base with a silicone release agent. The paper is first supercalendered (glassine) or extrusion-coated (PE-coated) to build strength, flatness and resistance to bleed-through, then siliconized on a five-roll coater, on one side or both, with release force controlled precisely through the formulation.
It belongs to the same family as release film; the difference is the base. A paper base gives stiffness, heat resistance and the ability to hold an embossed pattern, which is why it has long been the mainstay for label liners and synthetic-leather transfer coating, while a plastic base wins on transparency and strength. It is also a different thing from the "release layer" inside a hot stamping foil - release paper is finished roll stock you can buy on its own.
Product range spec sheet, LY-RP-01 to LY-RP-04
Basis weight, web width and release force are all made to order and the specification for each roll is confirmed on the quotation; for full physical data please ask us for the TDS.
| Code | Product | Base paper / character | Silicone | Key applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LY-RP-01 | Glassine Release Paperwhite is the lead grade · custom colors | Supercalendered glassine - high internal strength, high tensile strength, flat and dimensionally stable, stands up to die-cutting and heat | single / double | Label liners, self-adhesive barcode labels, electronics die-cutting, medical products |
| LY-RP-02 | PE-Coated Release Papermoisture and bleed-through resistant | Kraft, woodfree, coated or all-pulp base, extrusion-coated then siliconized - dimensionally stable, smooth, low lint | single / double | EVA foam, double-sided tape, automotive sound-deadening parts |
| LY-RP-03 | Clay-Coated Release Paper (CCK)embossing carrier | Clay-coated base paper - very smooth surface, suited to embossing and texture transfer | single | Synthetic-leather transfer coating, texture carrier |
| LY-RP-04 | Mesh (Air-Egress) Release Paperembossed air-release structure | Quench-embossed forming - even mesh, less contact area on lamination, strong air egress | single / double | Tapes, bubble-free lamination of composite materials |
Base paper and surface - white grades lead the range
White glassine and white kraft PE-coated are the volume grades: white glassine goes into label liners, electronics die-cutting and medical products, while white kraft PE-coated serves EVA foam, double-sided tape, automotive sound-deadening parts and other processes that need bleed-through resistance.
Other base papers available include woodfree, coated and all-pulp stock. When a line needs to tell release force bands or work orders apart by color, glassine can be made in custom colors (six standard: white, blue, pale yellow, amber, green, red) - just note it on your enquiry.
Note: color is a made-to-order option; lead time and MOQ are confirmed by specification, and the actual shade is per the approved sample.
Applications
Release paper vs release film vs a foil's release layer
| Property | Release paper (this page) | Release film | Release layer in hot stamping foil |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | Finished roll stock: paper base plus release coating | Finished roll stock: plastic base film plus release coating | One coated formulation inside the foil's five-layer structure |
| Sold separately? | Yes (LY-RP series) | Yes (LY-RF series) | No - not a standalone product |
| Typical use | Label liners, synthetic-leather transfer coating, EVA foam | Protective film lamination, tapes, electronics die-cutting, thermoforming | Lets the decorative layer transfer off the carrier |
| Selection criteria | Base paper type, basis weight, single or double-sided silicone, color | Release force band, base film, thickness | Designed into each foil formulation - nothing to select |

Frequently asked questions
Glassine or PE-coated - how do I choose?
Glassine has high internal strength and stays flat under die-cutting, which makes it the mainstream choice for label liners and die-cutting; PE-coated resists moisture and bleed-through, so it suits EVA foam, double-sided tape and automotive sound-deadening parts.
Can glassine be supplied in a specific color?
Yes. Six standard colors (white, blue, pale yellow, amber, green, red), with other colors made to order; color is commonly used to tell release force bands or work orders apart on the line.
Can you coat silicone on one side or both?
Yes. Five-roll siliconizing, single or double-sided, with release force set separately for each side.
Is there a minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
MOQ depends on base paper, basis weight, color and release force. Please contact our sales team for the current figures.
How do I choose between release paper and release film?
Paper-based processes - label liners, synthetic-leather transfer coating - usually run release paper; when you need transparency, high strength or thermoforming, choose release film.
