  • the waxed paper wrapping may comprise at least one printed mark on the paper substrate and under the wax layer.
  • the wax quantity in the fibrous base may be less than or equal to 7 g/m 2 , preferably less than or equal to 5 g/m 2 , preferably less than or equal to 4 g/m 2 when the wax is applied on both sides of the paper substrate.
  • the wax quantity in the fibrous base may be less than or equal to 4 g/m 2 , preferably less than or equal to 3 g/m 2 , better to 2.5 g/m 2 , even better to 2.0 g/m 2 and even better to 1.5 g/m 2 , when the wax is applied on one side of the paper substrate.
  • Such a low wax quantity enables to give relevant cost advantages, environmental advantages with easier compostability, and more stable processes.
  • the difference of opacity between the paper substrate, before application of wax, and the waxed paper wrapping may be less than or equal to 10%, preferably less than or equal to 5%, notably less than or equal to 3% Opacity is measured in an unprinted area of the waxed paper wrapping.
  • the patent describes a packaged food product comprising a food product and a waxed paper wrapping according to the invention, twisted around the food product.
  • the waxed paper wrapping may be twisted in at least one turn around the food product
  • the food product may be a confectionary food product, such as a sweet.
  • the fibrous base is a standard fibrous base used for confectionery application which main characteristics are presented in table 1.
  • Table 1- Fibrous base characterization Fibrous base Standard AVG SD Basisweight g/m 2 ISO 536-1995 E 40,4 0,1 Tear MD mN ISO 1974-1990 E 302 10 Tear CD mN 298 11 Stiffness (15° - 5 mm) MD mN ISO 2493-1 : 2010 ISO 5628-1990 E 41,1 6,2 Stiffness (15° - 5 mm) CD mN 20,1 2,5 Breaking length MD Km ISO 1924-2-1994 6,81 0,53 Breaking length CD Km 2,42 0,30 Elongation MD % NF EN ISO 1924-2-1994 3,7 0,1 Elongation CD % 9,6 0,7

  • a size press has been used to apply the surface treatments on the fibrous bases.
  • the conditions were the following: 2 presses at 25 PJ hardness and 4 bars pressure in the nip. Speed was 40 m/min with oven set at 140°C.
  • Coatweight is about 2 g/m 2 total dry weight on both sides of each fibrous base.
  • Table 3 presents the main paper characteristics of these two paper substrates.
  • Both paper substrates are twisting paper substrate according to the invention (see table 3 tear, elongation and stiffness values).
  • SP coating according to the invention can provide high barrier property to paper while SP-2 is not giving the expected barrier level (see delta opacity after rizinus cobb values of table 3)
  • the quantity of wax that is applied ranges between 7 and 8,5 g/m 2 in dry weight.
  • Table 4 presents wax coatweights measured inside papers. SP-1 is showing a wax saving of 33% compared to SP-2.
  • the amount of TiO2 present in the paper substrate was the same in both cases, and equal to 3.5% of the weight of paper substrate but the difference of opacity before and after waxing is much lower with SP-1 coating, which is a different way to prove lower wax penetration thanks to wax barrier provided by SP-1 coating.
  • coating SP-1 is able to provide suitable barrier to save quantity of wax applied on twisting paper substrates according to the invention.
