Clay Coated Kraft paper (CCK) is a durable kraft base paper coated with a layer of white clay, giving it a smooth, printable surface with enhanced strength. Widely used in labels, release liners, and food packaging, it offers excellent print quality, grease resistance, and stiffness. CCK paper combines visual appeal with functionality, making it ideal for both industrial and retail applications.
