Features & Benefits

Glassine bags offer a smooth, translucent, durable primary and secondary packaging solution ideal for the plastic to paper transition away from polybags. Because of its unique look and feel, it’s often mistaken for wax paper, parchment or even plastic, but unlike these alternatives, it is entirely made from paper and is 100% curbside recyclable. Glassine is also grease and water resistant!

Glassine bags are certified for direct food contact and can be safely sterilized for medical applications. JBM has glassine bags, glassine pouches and glassine envelopes that let you ditch the plastics, films, and foils as you work to reduce your packaging waste.

Change is always challenging, but when it comes to transitioning out of your plastic packaging, it can be especially hard. Your customers see your packaging before they see your product, so that package needs to look good, provide an enjoyable opening experience, and most importantly, protect your product.
