The invention belongs to the technical field of packaging paper for cigarettes, relates to application of yogon transfer membranes to direct plating paper, and particularly relates to a production technology for yogon low-gram-weight direct plating paper. The production technology comprises the following steps of forming a direct plating transfer coating on the surface of an original yogon membrane by coating, carrying out extrusion and paper fitting, stripping off a yogon transfer base membrane after drying, and then plating the aluminum so as to form the yogon low-gram-weight direct plating paper. The low-gram-weight direct plating paper with a yogon effect can be prepared by the production technology without using yogon cover coat in subsequent production. Furthermore, due to the adoption of the direct plating technology, the yogon surface effect and the yogon processed in subsequent production have obvious mirror surface advantage, and the production process cost and the energy consumption are reduced. The colored yogon direct plating paper has strong advantage of expression, and has the advantages of having low cost and being difficult to imitate in new product development.
