Glassine paper is a smooth, translucent, glossy paper made from natural wood pulp fibers through a specialized “supercalendering” process that makes it resistant to air, moisture, and grease without needing plastic coatings or waxes. It’s pH-neutral, acid-free, and often used for high-end protective packaging like bags or liners.

At OMBU, our glassine paper is particularly eco-friendly because it’s made from renewable natural fibre resources sourced from responsibly managed forests. It’s fully biodegradable (breaks down naturally over time) and 100% recyclable through standard curbside/paper recycling streams—no special handling required. Unlike plastic alternatives, it avoids petroleum-based materials and contributes to a lower environmental impact while still providing premium protection and a luxurious look for your products.

Our bespoke paper bags are highly customizable to perfectly suit your brand and products. We offer:

• Sizes: From the smallest to the largest—tell us your exact dimensions (in mm) and we’ll make it fit.
• Prints: Full customization with your brand logo, artwork, or messaging. Printing adds kudos and turns the bag into an effective advertising tool.
• Materials: Choose from our range of fine and unusual papers, including glassine, grease-resistant, kraft, acid-free, and more. We tailor styles (e.g., block-bottom, satchel, twisted handles, etc.) to complement your items.

Everything is tailor-made in the UK, so we work closely with you to develop the ideal solution that reinforces your brand quality and tells the story of what’s inside.

As a specialist in tailor-made packaging, our minimum order quantities (MOQs) vary depending on the complexity, size, material, and printing requirements—there’s no one-size-fits-all number. We aim to be flexible for both smaller boutique runs and larger orders to support businesses of all scales.

Lead times also depend on the specifics of your project (e.g., custom design approval, material sourcing, and production). Typically, once artwork and details are finalized, expect 4–8 weeks, but we always aim to meet your deadlines. Provide as much detail as possible when enquiring (size, quantity estimate, design files) so we can give you an accurate quote and timeline.

Yes—our focus is on environmentally responsible solutions. All our papers, including glassine and kraft, are sourced from renewable natural fibre resources and responsibly managed forests.

• Glassine paper is fully recyclable (curbside/paper stream) and biodegradable.

We pride ourselves on avoiding non-renewable or hard-to-recycle materials, so your packaging can be disposed of responsibly without harming the environment. This makes OMBU packaging a genuine eco-alternative to plastic while maintaining the fine quality your products deserve.
