Interleaved Transparent Cellulose Paper with Opaque Adhesive

Abstract

A method for applying adhesive to highly transparent cellulose rolling paper for a smoking article is provided, comprising the steps of holding the cellulose sheet under tension, applying a cellulose-based adhesive to a selected edge of the cellulose sheet, and drying the cellulose-based adhesive onto the cellulose sheet. The cellulose adhesive is comprised of water, cellulose gum and optionally, flavoring. The step of drying can be performed by air drying or drying with a shielded heat source. In one embodiment, a plurality of the cellulose sheets are assembled into an interleaved stack and enclosed in a suitable package. Optionally, the package containing the papers includes a magnetic closure and a tamper-resistant seal.
