Flexible packaging provider Verso has developed a family of lightweight uncoated machine-glazed papers, known as GlazeGuard, for oil and grease resistant (OGR) foodservice applications.
An integral part of the broader portfolio of Verso machine-glazed laminating and converting papers, the GlazeGuard product family features OGR levels ranging from Kit 5 to Kit 8.
It is designed to offer enhanced runnability, converting performance and multiple PFOA-free chemistries for applications such as sandwich and deli wraps, foodservice liners, microwave popcorn bags and laminated food pouches.
Verso sales, marketing and product development senior vice-president Mike Weinhold said: "Foodservice packaging converters and end users seeking OGR paper options with the right combination of quality, performance and run-to-run consistency will find that Verso's GlazeGuard OGR papers excel in these critical areas.
"We will deliver these solutions with the same level of highly personalized customer service, experienced technical resources and overall attention to detail that customers have come to expect from Verso."
Verso produces the GlazeGuard product line on paper machine No. 5 at its Androscoggin Mill in Jay, Maine, US.
The product line also offers several basis weights, ranging from 15.5lb to 33lb each, to meet specific end user requirement.
Verso Group product development and technical sales vice-president Jason Handel said: "These products, which we have branded as GlazeGuard, will quickly be recognized as excellent, reliable solutions for demanding OGR applications."
