## 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.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of applying adhesive to a cellophane paper for smoking articles, 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.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the cellulose adhesive is applied to a long edge of the cellulose sheet.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the cellulose adhesive comprises water, cellulose gum, and flavoring.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 wherein the cellulose adhesive comprises about ninety-seven percent water, two percent cellulose gum, and one percent flavoring.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The method of claim 4, wherein the cellulose gum comprises sodium carboxymethylcellulose.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the drying is performed by air drying.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the drying is performed using a convection non-blowing heat source.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of assembling a plurality of the cellulose sheets into an interleaved stack.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The method of claim 8, further comprising the step of placing the interleaved stack into a suitable enclosure.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

A cellulose-based rolling paper produced in accordance with claim 1.

### Claim 11

A recloseable package for containing smoking papers to be dispensed therefrom, the package comprising:
a body for holding the smoking papers, the body having a cover which overlays the body of the package for closure, wherein the body includes a first magnet and wherein the cover includes a second magnet, the first and second magnets being positionally mounted to contact one another when the cover is folded downwardly over the body of the package for closure.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The package of claim 11, further including a tamper-resistant seal adhesively applied across said body and said cover.
