Why Glassine Is the Standard for Candy Pads
Glassine earns its place through how it is made, not through any coating. Treating wood pulp and supercalendering it closes the fiber surface, which delivers natural grease resistance, a smooth printable face, and a clean, odorless contact surface. That keeps a truffle’s surface unmarked and its flavor intact. The same density gives glassine its faint translucent sheen and its strength as a cushion ply.
What Glassine Candy Pads Protect Against
Glassine pads guard confections on three fronts. They block grease and oil from staining the box, they resist the moisture that dulls chocolate, and their quilted plies cushion fragile pieces against shifting. For raw glassine in sheets and rolls for your own format, see custom glassine paper.
