“Glama KRAFT brings the distinctive look and feel of real kraft paper to premium print, converting and packaging,” said CTI Paper USA President John Kelly. “It’s a league of its own—delivering proven innovation, deep value and high impact for specialty consumer brands.”

He said demand for the product has grown steadily among food, beverage, apparel, accessories, beauty/cosmetics, cannabis and other specialty brands. “They are affordable and cost-effective for brand owners. They print, convert and accept post-press treatments beautifully.”

The Forest Stewardship Council-certified papers are optimized for 6+ color printing on all offset, letterpress, dry toner and HP Indigo presses, and ideal for foil stamping, die-cutting, embossing, perfect binding and folding/scoring. Multiple sizes of matching envelopes are available.
