- Moisture and Grease Resistance: Glassine provides higher resistance to moisture and grease than standard paper, which tends to absorb water and is affected by humidity. Glassine is not, however, waterproof, It may better withstand droplets of water and ambient humidity. But, it is still paper and will not withstand submersion into water.
- Durability and Strength: Glassine is nearly twice as dense as standard paper, making it more resistant to tearing and puncturing.
- Smooth Texture: Glassine has a smooth, non-abrasive surface (often called “toothless”), ideal for handling delicate items without causing damage. Standard paper is rougher and can be abrasive.
- No Shedding: Glassine’s glossy surface prevents shedding, keeping your products clean, whereas standard paper can shed tiny fibers.
- Translucency: Glassine is naturally translucent, allowing a partial view of the contents. Standard paper is typically opaque.
- Static-Free: Glassine does not generate static, while standard paper can.
