There are many different variations of kraft paper:

1.) Wax Coated:

This wax coat creates a waterproof barrier, preventing moisture damage from effecting the products it is protecting—it is particularly useful in industries where greasy and oily components need wrapping

2.) Ribbed:

Gives it that added bit of protection and shock absorption

3.) Machine Glazed:

Brings a shine to the paper

4.) Machine Finished:

Has a matt feel to the paper

5.) Union:

Made from two sheets of kraft paper with a special layer in between, which creates superior resistance to water and moisture

6.) Masking:

An even more hardy and versatile paper that, used with tape, keeps areas clean when doing activities such as painting. It is also typically used as a carper underlay due to its low cost.

7.) Anti-Rust:

Anti-rust paper is used for protecting metal products in storage from rusting.
