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.

Market Dynamics:

The machine glazed kraft paper market is driven by the growing demand from the food and tobacco packaging industries. Machine glazed kraft paper provides an affordable option for moisture proof and tamper proof packaging of food items as well as wrapping of tobacco products. It enhances the visual appeal of products due to its glossy texture. This has boosted its adoption rate among F&B and tobacco manufacturers. However, stringent environmental regulations regarding the use of plastic-coated papers restrains the market growth. Growing preference for sustainable packaging solutions acts as an opportunity for biodegradable machine glazed kraft paper manufacturers. Innovation regarding barrier properties and introduction of recyclable varieties can further provide new avenues in the coming years.
