Brown MG

Machine-glazed kraft

Brown MG

Machine-glazed kraft in brown. The mill presses one side smooth and closed against a polished cylinder and leaves the other side natural. This asymmetry is the point: the face prints and wraps, with kraft strength behind the face.

Machine glazing happens at the drying stage. The mill presses the wet web against a large polished cylinder. The side in contact comes away closed and glossy, and the reverse dries open and matte. One pass gives two different surfaces.

For a converter, this asymmetry is the whole argument. You get a finished face for ink over a kraft body, and the body still behaves like kraft when the pack is handled. You laminate nothing to get there.

Questions

What does MG mean?

Machine-glazed. The mill dries the sheet against a polished cylinder, which closes and glazes one side. The reverse stays natural.

Does brown MG take print?

Yes. The glazed face is the printing side. Print is the reason to choose MG over an unglazed kraft.

Is the reverse usable?

Yes. The reverse is ordinary kraft. The reverse holds print less well than the glazed face.
