Founded in 1925, Hazen Paper Company( Hazen) is a worldclass paper converter specializing in custom holographic originations; film, foil, and paper laminations; specialty and gravure coating; and rotary embossing. The company’ s products are used for a variety of applications, from beauty and entertainment packaging to product labels and even lottery scratch tickets.
Having been established by John N Hazen during the Roaring Twenties, Hazen has a long and interesting history. The company originally focused on producing decorative specialty papers for stationery, book covers, and greeting cards, and later got a patent on a product dubbed Shur Sheen, as well as the Sheen embossing process. Sheen embossing was the predecessor to microembossing, which is how holographic papers are made today. Hazen went on to develop an embossed cardstock that became the cornerstone of the company’ s business model still in place 101 years later in 2026.
