VCI Paper for Metal Parts & Industrial Packaging
Jinhong Packaging supplies VCI paper through selected production partners for wrapping and interleaving metal parts during storage and transport. Options include kraft paper, PE-coated paper and creped paper, supplied in sheets or rolls according to the selected grade.
We help coordinate paper selection, dimensions and samples based on the metal or alloy, surface condition and packing process.
VCI Paper Options
Choose from different VCI paper constructions for wrapping, interleaving and lining metal parts. Paper construction and VCI formulation should be selected together to suit the metal and packing requirements.
Kraft VCI Paper
A paper option for wrapping individual metal parts or separating layers of components. Different paper weights and VCI formulations are available according to the metal type, part shape and handling requirements.
PE-Coated VCI Paper
VCI paper with a polyethylene coating for applications requiring additional moisture resistance. The paper grade, coating and wrapping arrangement should be matched to the part and storage conditions.
Creped VCI Paper
A textured, extensible paper option for wrapping wire, coiled products and shaped metal parts. The creped structure helps the paper conform to the product during wrapping.
VCI Paper Specifications & Selection
VCI paper specifications vary by paper construction and inhibitor formulation. The options below provide a starting point for your enquiry; the selected grade and supply format are confirmed for each project.
| Specification | Options & Points to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Paper construction | Kraft paper, PE-coated paper and creped paper, depending on the selected grade |
| Supply format | Rolls or cut sheets; availability depends on paper grade and dimensions |
| Paper weight | Grade-specific. Specify whether the required gsm refers to the base paper or the finished coated paper |
| Roll width & sheet size | Selected according to the paper grade, part dimensions and wrapping or interleaving method |
| Metal compatibility | Ferrous-metal and multi-metal grades; suitability must be checked for the actual metals, alloys and surface treatments |
| Printing | Custom logo printing can be reviewed according to the selected grade and order requirements |
| MOQ & samples | Confirmed according to paper grade, dimensions, printing and requested quantity |
Please share the metal type, surface condition, part dimensions and expected storage or shipping conditions so we can coordinate an appropriate paper grade and samples for evaluation.
VCI Paper Applications
VCI paper is used for wrapping, interleaving and lining metal components during storage and transport. Paper selection depends on the metal type, surface condition, part shape and packing requirements.
Automotive Components
For wrapping brake discs, gears, piston rings and other metal components during storage and shipment. Paper grade and wrapping method are selected according to the metal, surface condition and part shape.
Bearings & Machined Parts
For wrapping bearings, cylinder liners and machined metal parts, or separating layers within outer packaging. Paper weight and construction should account for part weight, sharp edges and handling requirements.
Metal Wire & Strip
For wrapping or interleaving steel wire, copper strip and related metal products. Creped paper or suitable paper strips can be selected according to the metal and winding or packing process.
What to Include in Your VCI Paper Enquiry
To help us prepare a relevant quotation, please include:
• Metal or alloy type, including any surface oil, coating or treatment.
• Part dimensions, weight and any sharp edges.
• Intended use: wrapping individual parts, interleaving layers or lining outer packaging.
• Preferred paper construction and weight, if known.
• Required sheet dimensions or roll width, plus roll length and core size where applicable.
• Expected storage duration and shipping conditions.
• Order quantity, printing requirements and delivery destination.
If you are unsure which paper grade to choose, send a photo of the parts and describe your packing process. Jinhong Packaging can help coordinate paper options and samples with selected production partners.
Frequently Asked Questions About VCI Paper
What is VCI paper?
VCI paper is paper treated with a volatile corrosion inhibitor. It releases corrosion-inhibiting vapours into the enclosed packaging space to help protect compatible metal surfaces during storage and transport. The paper grade and VCI formulation should be selected for the application.
Which side of VCI paper should face the metal?
Follow the instructions for the selected paper grade. Some grades provide VCI protection on both sides, while coated or specialised constructions may have a specified orientation. Do not assume that colour, printing or a glossy surface identifies the side that should face the metal.
How long does VCI paper protect metal parts?
Protection time depends on the paper grade, metal condition, wrapping method, outer packaging and storage environment. The shelf life of unused paper is not the same as the protection period for packed parts. Share your intended storage duration and shipping conditions so we can coordinate an option for evaluation.
Should I choose VCI paper or VCI bags?
VCI paper is useful for wrapping individual parts and separating layers of metal components. VCI bags provide an enclosing format that can also allow visual inspection of the contents. Selection depends on the part shape, handling process and required protection. Combined use should be reviewed for compatibility and packing requirements.
Can I request VCI paper samples?
Yes. Jinhong Packaging can coordinate sample requests with selected production partners. Please provide the metal type, intended use, paper dimensions and any known grade requirements. Sample availability, charges and lead time are confirmed for each request.
