This invention relates to a method of preparing tity to give the desired moisture-proofing efiectv The products, such as bread, are usually wrapped mechanically and the folds of the wrapper are sealed incidental to slight melting of the wax on the contact portions of the folds. It has been found that paper prepared in this manner is resilient and of somewhat springy character so that the folds tend to spring apart before the wax has set sufllciently to retain them in sealed condition. Often times the printing is elaborate and covers thiaentire area of the wrapper. The
fills in the pores and forms an unbroken. coveiing that prevents penetration of the wax and limits the amount that may be applied to the paper stock. Usually the coating over printed surfaces is 'not sufllciently' thick to effect adequate seal of the folds, which adds to the aggravating eflfects of the springy character of the paper and makes sealing more difflcult. This has. been overcome in part by leaving unprinted marinvention, as hereinafter pointed out, I have provided an improved method carried out with a novel apparatus illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figs. 1, 1A, 1B, 1C and 1D represent a 'diagrammatic section through the successive portions of the apparatus for treating base paper stock in accordance with the present invention.
Referring more in detail to the drawings:
l designates a roll of ordinary calendered and unprinted base paper from which wax paper is prepared in accordance with the present practice, and which is mounted in a printing press 2, having a plurality of guide rollers 3 for directing the paper between sets of printing rollers lfor print ing designs on the paper stock, usually in colored inks, such as are used in printing of bread wrappers. After printing the paper passes over rollers 5 and is rewound to form a roll 6.
The printing ink when applied to the surface I of the paper penetrates the pores thereof and forms a substantially smooth, unbroken covering over the surface of the paper in accordance with the design. I This ink covering limits the amount of water-proofing material that may be caused to penetrate the body of the paper, and I, therefore. provide for breaking up the continuous surface of the ink so that the printed portions of the paper have substantially the same surface texture'as ting machine and stored for a period of time to gins where the sealing folds are to be formed, but 39 the unprinted portions.
these margins are. not ordinarily desirable for the 4 The r lls f p p 6, fi r p n re reason that they destroy the artistic character of therefore placed in a wetting machine I wherein the design, particularly at the exposed end folds the roll is unwound and the printed paper guided of the wrapper. The ordinary waxed paper is over suitable rollers 8 and between driven rollers also brittle in character so that folding presents 9 a d I9 across a Wetting Z0116 H, provided n e unsightly crinkles in the wrapper.

It is. therefore, a'principal object of the present mechanism [5 includes a cylindrical brush l6 invention to prepare a wax paper that is of subhaving a plurali y of liis les adapted o mo stantially flexible character to eliminate creepinto wiping contact with the pickup roller l1 ing of the folds when a product is wrapped therein rotatable within a body of wetting liquid, such as and to facilitate sealing qualities thereof. water I8, that is carried in a pan IS.

The wetting medium increases the moisture content of the paper so that when again unrolled it is rendered extremely pliable and capable of being calendered to break down the smooth, continuous surface of the ink so that it has substantially the,
the paper is unwound therefrom over Spreaders 23 and 24 to stretch the paper so that it enters between the first of a stand of calender rolls 25 and a feed belt 26. The paper then passes alternately over successive calender rolls and is guided by a rollerl'l for rewinding into a roll 28. V The calender rolls press down and smooth out the paper to close thepores so that the moisture is retained therein and. the surfaces are given a which, when congealed, provides a substantially hermetically sealed wrapper. The wrapper, being very pliable, retains its folds until the wax has congealed. The printing colors are also clearly improved, the colors being substantially brighter and having highlights, which enhance the appearance of the wrapped article. The flexibility of the paper also prevents checking and marking of the wax and when the paper is used as wrappers they forrn fresh and attractive packages.
What I claim and desire to secure by Letters 3 Patent is:
glossier, smoother and far more finished appearance. Calendering of the paper breaks the filament of ink and later permits absorption of the water-proofing solution, as later described. The tone of the ink colors is also improved so that they are brighter and of more attractive appearance. The calender rolls are kept clean by the usual doctor blades 29 and are cooled by directing air thereon through nozzles 30 and 3| as shown in Fig. 1B.
On passage of the sheet through the calender stock some of the moisture is evaporated. but a substantial portion of the moisture held by the capillaries is transformed and retained through hydration of the fibres. The treated sheet is thus rendered smoothly dense, and has a greatly improved appearance after coating.
After being super-calendered the rolls 28 are then delivered to a coating machine, indicated in Fig. 10, wherein the paper is guided over rollers 32 and through a bath of coating solution 33, such as melted paraflin. After passing through'the coating solution, the paper is guided between rollers 34 and 35 which squeeze off excessive material and drain it back into the body of coating solution. From the'rollers 34 and 35 the paper is guided through a chilled water bath 36 where the shipping to the user.
When the paper is treated in accordance with the above described process, the wax coating penetrates substantially uniformly into the paper regardless of the printing, so that there is sumcient wax covering the"pri nting to effect sealthereof when the paper is used in wrapping various articles. For example, in the wrapping of bread, the rolls of paper 39 are used in a standard loaves of bread are successively wrapped and' the ends of the wrapper folded. Heat is applied to the folds of the Wrapper to cause slight melting of the wax on the contacting portions of the fold,
