Is glassine paper food safe?

Yes. Our glassine paper is FDA-compliant and neutral in taste and odor, making it ideal for direct food contact.

Can you see through glassine paper?

Yes. Glassine is semi-transparent, allowing partial product visibility through the packaging.

Can I print on glassine paper?

Yes. Printing is possible on glassine using specialized inks. Single-color logos work best; full-color print is available on certain stocks.

Is glassine paper waterproof?

Glassine resists moisture and grease but is not fully waterproof. For complete moisture barriers, silicone-coated glassine is recommended.

Is it biodegradable?

Standard glassine paper is biodegradable and recyclable in most paper recycling streams.

Can it be used for candy wrapping?

Yes. Glassine is widely used for wrapping candies, chocolates, and confectionery where a premium light wrap is needed.

What is the minimum order?
