Wax Coated Paper

Wrap 'n' Pack are the manufacturers of paraffin wax coated papers in roll & sheet forms. The paper is moisture proof, non-sticky, biodegradable & heat seal-able. These can be used for wrapping confectionery, chocolates, breads, soaps, machinery parts (for rust prevention), candles & food storage as they increase shelf life of the products.

Wax is added to paper to make it more durable and moisture resistant. A thin coating of wax keeps the paper from disintegrating when it comes in contact with moisture, like grease or water. Wax is also added to paper to keep things from sticking to it. Chewy candies are often wrapped in wax coated paper to make them easy to unwrap.

The way wax is applied to paper is Roll-on or dry waxing where Wax is rolled on the sheet of paper using rollers

Benefits of Waxed Paper for Confectionery Industries:

Waxed paper is less influenced than plastic by seasonal influences on packaging production and processing.
Natural paper's stiffness and compressibility lead to less blunting of cutting knives. The waxed coating also acts as a blade lubricant.
Balanced stiffness and slip properties of the waxed coating enable even machine feed with a high tolerance to line speed fluctuations, instant 'start and stop', and high speed cutting.
It is possible to produce see-through packaging by using translucent paper with special waxed coatings.
High-strength twisting paper offers superior twist retention properties compared to alternative materials, and delivers the highest packaging speeds.
Waxed paper is an inimitable release layer for naturally-sticky foods - especially sweets. With the development of new vegetable based waxes the release properties have been improved compared with conventional waxes. In conjunction with paper treatment this release can be enhanced even further. The product life of naturally sticky products can be extended using waxed paper packaging.
Adaptable moisture barrier properties, reduced UV light transmission to prevent rancidity, and good seal integrity

Why Wax Paper:

Water Resistance and Water Vapor Resistance

Water and water vapor resistance is the most important property associated with paraffin wax in conjunction with paper.

Gas and Odor Barrier

wax paper is a good barrier against odor and gas transmission. It is this property which protects products against loss of flavor and odor and from contamination by foreign odor.

Economy

Petroleum based waxes are very economical water-resistant materials and their low viscosity requires relatively minimal machinery cost for application at high speeds.

Biodegradable (Eco-Friendly)

Wax paper is compostable, so even if you don't want to wrap your sandwiches, you could also just use wax paper bags, Natural Value Unbleached Wax Paper Bags. These can be recycled with other paper products and are not made of petroleum, and the biodegrade in 30-90 days.

Easy to open/close

Waxed paper packaging retains 'easy to open' and 'easy to close' properties.
