Manufacturing

GMLUK manufactures specialist paper products for manufacturers, OEMs, industrial suppliers and trade customers who need paper for protection, separation, release, wrapping, storage or production support.

In manufacturing, paper is often a functional component. It may need to prevent sticking, protect metal from corrosion, separate layers, line boxes, release adhesives, protect surfaces, wrap components or run through machinery at a precise width.

We manufacture custom sized, custom coated, slit, sheeted and die-cut paper products for industrial applications, including release papers, interleaving papers, VCI anti-corrosion papers, protective papers, coated papers, gasket materials and custom industrial paper formats.

Metal components and engineering

Metal components may need protection during storage, handling or transport. VCI anti-corrosion paper can help protect suitable metal parts when correctly specified for the metal type, storage conditions and protection requirement.

Adhesives, tapes, labels and converting

Release papers and interleaving papers are used where materials need to separate cleanly. Silicone release paper can be used in adhesive, tape, label, rubber, composite and converting applications, depending on the release level and process requirement.

Food manufacturing

Food manufacturers may need paper for separation, release, tray lining, interleaving, wrapping or production handling. Suitable specifications can be produced in sheets, reels or die-cut formats, with food-contact requirements considered where relevant.

Automotive and engineering supply chains

Automotive, engineering and component suppliers may need protective papers, VCI papers, interleaving sheets, die-cut shapes, gaskets, box liners and custom slit reels for repeat production and transport.

General manufacturing and assembly

Manufacturers may use paper for box lining, product separation, surface protection, handling, wrapping, masking, storage, packaging or process support.

Industrial merchants and resellers

Industrial suppliers and merchants can use GMLUK as a UK converting partner for custom industrial paper products, including slit reels, sheeted papers, coated papers, die-cut shapes and repeat customer stock.

Custom converted to fit your process

Industrial paper often needs to fit an existing process. That may mean a precise reel width, a specific core size, a repeat sheet size, a die-cut profile, a coating level, a release characteristic or a packing format that works on the production line. GMLUK can support custom sheet sizes, custom slit reel widths, custom core sizes, die-cut components, coated specifications, release characteristics, interleaving formats, protective wrapping papers and repeat call-off supply.

Why paper specification matters in manufacturing

The wrong industrial paper can cause sticking, marking, tearing, contamination risk, inconsistent release, corrosion issues, production delays or unnecessary waste. The right paper can improve handling, protection, repeatability and process efficiency. This is where coating, slitting, sheeting and die cutting are particularly valuable. Instead of buying a generic roll or sheet, the paper can be converted to match the product, the machine, the packing process or the storage condition.

VCI anti-corrosion paper

VCI paper is used to help protect suitable metal components from corrosion during storage and transport. It is commonly used for engineering parts, metal components, tools, spares, automotive components and industrial goods where corrosion risk needs to be managed. The correct specification depends on the metal type, storage environment, packing method, exposure conditions and required protection period.

Release and interleaving papers

Release paper and interleaving paper help materials separate cleanly, protect surfaces and maintain handling efficiency. They can be used between adhesive products, food items, rubber materials, composite products, metal components, stacked parts or any application where layers need to be separated, protected or released.
