What is MG paper (cowhide paper)? Detailed characteristics and applications

What is MG paper (cowhide paper)?

MG paper is a type of paper produced on a machine-glazed (MG) machine, creating a smooth surface on one side and a rough surface on the other. The term “cowhide paper” comes from the rough, textured surface that resembles cowhide. MG paper is often made from virgin pulp or recycled pulp and can be either bleached or left in its natural brown color.

Properties and characteristics of MG Paper

  • Unique surface, strong impression: The most distinctive feature of cowhide paper is its combination of two contrasting surfaces: one smooth and glossy, the other rough and textured like cowhide. This contrast gives MG paper its unique appeal, offering both a luxurious look and a rustic, approachable feel.
  • High mechanical strength: This type of paper boasts impressive mechanical strength, withstanding pulling, tearing, and strong impacts without breaking. This makes MG paper an ideal packaging material for heavy products that need careful protection during transportation.
  • Rich color palette: cowhide paper is not limited to its traditional brown color but is also produced in various colors such as white, yellow, green, etc., depending on the application. The variety in color makes cowhide paper suitable for multiple purposes, from packaging to printing and decoration.
  • Environmentally friendly: MG paper can be made from recycled pulp and is biodegradable in natural environments, helping to reduce environmental pollution and protect forest resources. This is a significant advantage of MG paper in an era where environmental consciousness is increasingly important.

Technical Specifications of MG Paper

  • Basis weight: This indicates the thickness of the paper, measured in grams per square meter (g/m²). MG paper typically has a basis weight ranging from 70g/m² to 350g/m², depending on its intended use.
  • Size: Cowhide paper comes in various sizes, with A4 and A3 being the most common, or it can be supplied in large rolls for users to cut as needed.
