With basis weights (3000 sq. ft.) ranging from 20 lb. to 40 lb., GlazeBag™ NK provides outstanding stiffness for structural integrity and high-speed converting performance as well as excellent printability for food service bags, concession bags and other lightweight, unbleached bag applications.

GlazeWrap NK, with basis weights (3000 sq. ft.) ranging from 15 lb. to 40 lb.,  is a multipurpose natural kraft paper designed for a variety of converting and packaging applications.
