Machine glazed kraft paper is a specially manufactured paper which undergoes a process of machine glazing that adds shine and smoothness to the paper's surface. It has long been used as a substitute for glassine due to its high gloss and strength. The paper is produced from chemical wood pulp which undergoes processing and calendaring to achieve its signature glossy finish. It has applications in various industries owing to its moisture resistance, strength, and ability to provide shelf appeal to products. Some key uses of machine glazed kraft paper include food packaging, tobacco packaging, chemical packaging, and luxury goods packaging.
