“Our focus is on creating high-performance, unbleached natural kraft papers for demanding converting processes,” said Mike Weinhold, Verso president of graphic papers. “With its oil and grease resistance, low porosity for moisture holdout, and consistency in extrusion laminating and waxing, our NK Series is a great complement to our trusted portfolio of lightweight bleached foodservice and flexible packaging papers.”

Verso describes GlazeWrap NK as a “perfect choice” for foil and film laminated products ranging from premium food pouches and wraps, to construction and industrial packaging applications.
