Machined glazed (MG) paper is preferred for its ability to balance durability with aesthetics. Many cosmetic brands use this paper for packaging and branding purposes, as its smooth, glass-like finish provides excellent printability. This paper is also used to make tags, labels, and release liners. With the increasing demand for premium and aesthetically pleasing packaging, the acceptance of MG paper is rising in the cosmetic and personal care industry. 

The machined glazed paper comes in two grades: Bleached and Unbleached. The unbleached MG paper is gaining immense popularity. Due to its high durability, robustness, tear resistance, and ability to withstand rough handling, it is suitable for packaging grains, cement, and chemicals. The machine glazed paper market is projected to expand at the fastest rate in the upcoming period due to the rising demand from the food & beverage industry. MG paper is used in the packaging of confectionaries, bakery products, and other fast-food items due to its resistance to grease, preserving freshness of the food. The increasing consumption of packaged food fuels the market growth. Moreover, the rising demand from the pharmaceutical, electronics, and building & construction industries contributes to market expansion.
