A veteran industry that pioneered outstanding advances in packaging and still dominates the field of low-cost wraps capitalizes
on competing materials by building many of their characteristics into its product
Biggest tonnage output of the paper-wrap industry is in waxed paper and the biggest user of these traditional wraps is the bread-baking industry. These jumbo rolls have just emerged from the coater and are waiting to go on to the slitter.
110-in. widths of glassine for paper wraps and other packaging purposes are produced on this new supercalender, just installed in the Midwest and said to be the world's largest. Such equipment converts greaseproof paper into glassine by increasing the base-stock's gloss, density, transparency and greaseproofness by moistening and heat pressing.
