| Product | Film Thickness | Available Widths | Roll Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| Glossy | 80 μm | 940 / 1295 / 1550 mm | 45 m |
| Matte | 80 μm | 940 / 1295 / 1550 mm | 45 m |

Based on Jiu Mao's current published category information. Available specifications should be confirmed according to the selected product before ordering. For additional specialty options, including UV-Cut lamination film, refer to the individual product pages.

Beyond thickness and roll size, buyers should confirm the following for the selected product:
- Film material
- Film thickness
- Adhesive
- Release liner
- Roll width and roll length
- Shelf life
- Packaging
- Product-specific application
For the Glossy, Matte and Semi-Matte series, Jiu Mao currently publishes PVC overlaminate film, pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive, PE-coated release liner and a shelf life of 12 months under recommended storage conditions.
4. Look for Consistent Product Information
Product names, dimensions, thicknesses and construction details should remain consistent across category pages, product pages and quotation documents. Inconsistent or unclear information can make it harder for importers and distributors to compare products and prepare accurate purchasing documents.
Buyers can cross-check the category overview against the individual product page before submitting an inquiry.
5. Confirm OEM / ODM and Private-Label Feasibility
OEM / ODM and private-label requirements can be discussed according to product specifications, roll width, thickness, packaging, labeling, purchasing quantity and technical feasibility.
Buyers should state their requirements early, because feasibility depends on the specific product and specification rather than on a general promise of customization.
6. Check Testing & Documentation Support
Depending on the selected product, customer requirement and destination market, Jiu Mao can provide or assist with arranging third-party testing and documentation support related to Phthalates, RoHS and REACH / SVHC.
Testing and compliance documentation should be confirmed according to the specific product, material batch, actual test report and destination-market requirement. This should not be interpreted as a statement that every Jiu Mao product has automatically passed every listed test.
7. Confirm Packaging and Ordering Requirements
To make an inquiry efficient, prepare the following information:
- Product and surface finish
- Required roll width
- Roll length
- Film thickness
- Estimated purchasing quantity
- Packaging requirements
- Labeling or brand requirements
- Destination market
- Application and printed substrate
8. Test Samples Before Volume Production
Even when the specification looks suitable, buyers should evaluate the film with the actual printed substrate before ordering in volume. Test adhesion, surface appearance and compatibility with the printed media. For solvent or eco-solvent printing, follow the printer, ink and media supplier's recommendations for drying or outgassing before lamination. For UV-curable printing, follow the applicable curing and lamination recommendations for the selected ink and media system.
Sample availability and arrangements should be confirmed with the supplier.
