Product Introduction
MG/MF Kraft Paper refers to machine glazed (MG) or machine finished (MF) kraft paper, which is a type of paper produced with specific surface finishes and properties. There are white (bleached) and brown (unbleached) kraft paper. Here’s a breakdown of its characteristics and uses:
1. Machine Glazed (MG) Kraft Paper
Production Process: Made on a Yankee dryer, where one side is pressed against a highly polished, heated cylinder, giving it a glossy, smooth finish on one side while the other remains rough.
Features:
High gloss on one side, matte on the other.
Good strength and moisture resistance.
Flexible yet durable.
Common Uses:
Packaging for food (e.g., butter, cheese wraps).
Labels, envelopes, and laminates.
Industrial applications like cement bag liners.
2. Machine Finished (MF) Kraft Paper
Production Process: Smoothed by calender rolls (not as glossy as MG), resulting in a more uniform but less shiny surface compared to MG.
Features:
Moderate smoothness on both sides.
Good printability and strength.
Often bleached or unbleached.
Common Uses:
Multi-wall sacks (e.g., for flour, animal feed).
Grocery bags, wrapping paper.
Industrial padding and interleaving.
