XIADE expands transparent cellulose film lineup for packaging markets

XIADE is pushing regenerated cellulose film as an alternative to fossil-based packaging films, with products aimed at food, medical and industrial uses. The China-based supplier says its film combines transparency, flexibility, printability and biodegradability, backed by large-scale production capacity and customization options.

Why it matters: - Packaging makers are under pressure to reduce reliance on petroleum-based films without losing performance. - Transparent cellulose film gives brands a plant-based option that can still support visibility, sealing, printing and barrier needs. - XIADE is positioning itself as a supplier for companies that want sustainable materials with industrial-scale supply.

What happened: - XIADE advanced its transparent cellulose film offerings as a top transparent cellulose film supplier in China. - The company developed regenerated cellulose film solutions based on natural cellulose materials for packaging applications. - XIADE said its product range is designed to support transparency, flexibility, printability and biodegradability. - The company also highlighted a broader portfolio that includes coated cellulose film, colored cellulose film, aluminized cellulose film and biodegradable cellulose-based tapes. - More information about the company’s regenerated cellulose film products is available here.

The details: - XIADE makes transparent regenerated cellulose film from natural polymer plant materials, mainly wood pulp and cotton pulp. - The film is available in rolls and sheets. - The material is designed to offer high transparency and gloss. - The film also provides tensile strength, flexibility, tear resistance and stable friction characteristics. - The material is compatible with printing, lamination and heat-sealing, depending on structure and application. - Coated cellulose film can improve moisture and oxygen barrier performance while keeping the core cellulose properties. - XIADE says coated options fit dried foods, confectionery, bakery products, tea and coffee packaging, pharmaceutical overwrapping and luxury gift packaging. - The company says its transparent cellulose film can resist air, oils, greases and bacteria. - The material’s breathability can help in selected food applications. - XIADE states that the regenerated transparent cellulose film meets EU food contact material standards. - XIADE says production follows ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified systems. - The company’s product options cover about 20–60 g/m² and 14–30 μm, with production widths from 1,000 to 1,800 mm for relevant regenerated cellulose film products. - XIADE offers customization of thickness, size, color and coating. - The company also offers non-silicone treatment, enhanced anti-static performance and custom slitting down to a minimum width of 50 mm for relevant products.

Between the lines: - The pitch is not only about sustainability. It is also about fitting cellulose film into existing converting and packaging lines. - That matters because packaging buyers usually switch materials only when performance, processing and compliance line up together. - XIADE is pairing material claims with manufacturing capacity to reduce supply risk for larger customers. - The company operates as the international business window of Shaoxing Kede New Materials Co., Ltd. - XIADE was established in 2006 and runs two factories and nine automated production lines. - The company reports an annual production capacity of 40,000 tons, a technical R&D team of more than 40 people and a production area of about 60,000 square meters. - XIADE exports cellulose film products to Europe, North America, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and other markets.

What's next: - XIADE is likely to keep targeting manufacturers that want renewable packaging materials with tailored barrier, sealing and printing properties. - Food, medical, industrial, cosmetics, electronics, fashion and textile packaging remain the main use cases named for the film line. - The broader market shift toward bio-based materials suggests demand could keep growing as packaging regulations and sustainability goals tighten.

The bottom line: - XIADE is betting that transparent cellulose film can be both a sustainability play and a practical substitute for conventional plastic films in commercial packaging.
