Flexible packaging provider Verso has introduced new GlazeTape water-activated and paint-masking tape base papers.
The company has also expanded its GlazeWrap family of lightweight uncoated machine-glazed (MG) papers for food and medical flexible packaging.
Designed as base paper for industrial tape end-uses, the GlazeTape product portfolio includes water-activated tapes used in shipping and construction.
The products also comprised of oil and grease resistant (OGR) paint-masking tapes used in automotive applications, appliances and other durable goods manufacturing applications.
GlazeWrap products, which are used as lightweight laminating base papers for food and medical flexible packaging applications, were expanded to include new basis weights as low as 14.8lb.
The products will be used as laminate to film or aluminum foil for food pouches and bags, as well as wax saturation base paper for food wraps.
Verso sales, marketing and product development vice president Mike Weinhold said: "The addition of GlazeTape and expansion of GlazeWrap papers are a significant step forward in broadening our already extensive portfolio of highly engineered, lightweight uncoated MG papers.
"We are excited to offer specialty paper converters even more choices, backed by dedicated Verso professionals working every day to exceed customer expectations."
In April, Verso launched Sterling premium digital tough tear, a premium digital coated paper enhanced with poly for greater print performance, durability and tear resistance.
It was created as an alternative to synthetic paper and other durable media products using a patented manufacturing process.
