Custom Glassine Paper

When it comes to custom food wraps, there are many different options. All brands aim for food-grade nature, sustainability, and branding ability when selecting custom papers. So, if you are also looking for an excellent option to wrap your foods perfectly, glassine paper is an ideal option. 

This is one of the best eco-friendly packaging materials, with a unique texture, transparency, smoothness, etc. Custom glassine paper is used frequently in several industries, including food, retail, arts and crafts, gift wrapping, etc. Specifically, the printed logo and several aesthetic band themes make companies invest in this high-quality paper. 

What Is Glassine Paper?

This custom paper is smooth, glossy, and translucent, manufactured with 100 percent wood pulp. For paper manufacturing, we pass the wood from various pulping processes that give a smooth surface to it. The paper is also polished to give it a glossy appearance. You can get glassine paper sheets of any thickness, considering the requirement of your product. 

We manufacture the paper considering the requirements of climate-conscious individuals, which is why it is the best option for reducing carbon footprint. Owing to its sustainable nature, the paper is also food-grade and FDA-approved.

What Makes Our Glassine Paper Perfect?

Several qualities of this custom paper set it apart from other types of custom greaseproof paper. This paper has an excellent ability to repel moisture and grease, which is why in many industries related to food, it is used widely. Some of the features that our glassine paper rolls contain are: 

Smooth and Glossy Texture

The surface of the appearance polishes gives the paper a glossy look, as shown by the super calendaring process. This glossy nature prevents scratching and ink transfer to food, making it almost like custom wax paper. 

Moisture and Grease Resistance

Customized glassine paper is highly resistant to heat, moisture, and grease. Considering this, foods high in fat, such as pastries, candies, etc., must be packed in glassine paper bags. Glassine paper bags are common when wrapping easy-to-eat food, such as sandwiches, wraps, etc. 

Non-Stick Surface

Unlike regular paper, it does not cling to the surface of the utensils or to the product. That is why it is one of the primary options that brands prefer to wrap their oily and sticky foods. This ability of the paper allows the brands to keep the food fresh. 

Translucent Appearance

Glassine paper’s translucent appearance allows the brand to give an elegant presentation to its food. This transparent nature of custom glassine paper makes it an excellent addition in the retail sector, where many products such as candies, jellies, etc. 

Environmentally Friendly

Paper is 100 % sustainable because it is manufactured using wood pulp. Although applying different castings may reduce the environmental aspect of the packaging, it is a better solution than synthetic food wraps. 

Manufacturing Process And Raw Materials Of Glassine Paper

The primary raw material used to manufacture glassine paper sheets is wood pulp, which we obtain from FSC-approved forests. We process the wood pulp without additional additives so that its natural chemical-free state remains as it is. We follow the steps below for the signature smoothness of customized glassine paper:

• Pulping
• Refining
• Supercalendering
• Drying 
• Finishing 

Printing on Glassine Paper

As glassine rolls have a smooth and translucent surface, just like deli paper, that is why this paper is slightly difficult to print. The non-porous and smooth surface of the paper makes it challenging for the printing inks to be absorbed. We use flexography and screen printing methods that are feasible for glassine paper rolls. 

You can get your logos, designs, and other branding elements printed on paper that enhances the look of the sheets without compromising the paper’s sustainability. We use specially designed inks because traditional inks do not dry easily, and for an impeccable printed design, the paper must dry without any smudging. 

Coatings on Glassine Paper

Glassine paper sheets are manufactured with a highly compressed and supercalendered finish, so they resist grease and moisture. Therefore, additional coatings are not necessary. Nonetheless, if you want a bit more durable paper, you can opt for wax, silicone, and PE coatings. Some of the common types of paper are:

1. Unbleached (Natural) Glassine 
2. Bleached Glassine 
3. Colored Glassine 
4. Acid-Free Glassine 
5. Heat-Sealable Glassine 
6. Waxed or Coated Glassine

Add-ons for Enhanced Functionality

We use add-ons such as adhesive strips, die-cut designs, and textured designs to enhance the paper’s functionality and attractiveness. 

• Adhesive strips, such as peel-and-seal adhesive strips, are used on glassine bags for easy closure and resealing. 
• To give the paper specific shapes, we apply custom die-cutting.  
• Embossing and debossing are also applied but not commonly because of the delicate nature of the paper.
