Paper Specification · Specialty Papers
Glassine
Glassine is a smooth, slightly glossy, translucent paper. It gets its resistance to air, water and grease from super-calendering, a mechanical rolling process that flattens the fibres in one direction and smooths the surface. No wax or chemicals are used to achieve that resistance, which is why it suits foodservice use, foodstuff packaging and interleaves or barrier strips between products.
Two options are listed: 48gsm in Natural-White and 58gsm in White. Each weight comes in its one shade only. Give the weight, size and quantity when you request a quote.
