         2 . The ream wrapper of  claim 1  wherein said wrapper has a white print surface for the outside of said ream wrap.  
     
     
         3 . The ream wrapper of  claim 1  wherein said paper has a weight between about 25 to 75 pounds per 3,000 sq. ft.  
     
     
         4 . The ream wrapper of  claim 1  wherein said coating has weight of about 7 to 15 pounds per 3,000 sq, ft.  
     
     
         5 . The ream wrapper of  claim 1  wherein said wrapper provides a moisture barrier.  
     
     
         6 . The ream wrapper of  claim 1  wherein said unbleached paper is selected from the group consisting of 40 pound bag and laminating Kraft, 50 pound extensible Kraft, or 60 pound converting Kraft.  
     
     
         7 . The ream wrapper of  claim 1  wherein said white poly coating is made by mixing polyethylene or polypropylene with a white dye or pigment.  
     
     
         8 . A ream wrapper comprising either an unbleached (brown), semi-bleached (tan), or bleached (white) paper with a colored poly coating.  
     
     
         9 . The ream wrapper of  claim 8  wherein said paper has a weight between about 40 to 60 pounds per 3,000 sq. ft.  
     
     
         10 . The ream wrapper of  claim 8  wherein said paper has a weight between about 25 to 75 pounds per 3,000 sq. ft.  
     
     
         11 . The ream wrapper of  claim 8  wherein said coating has a weight of about 7 to 15 pounds per 3,000 sq. ft.  
     
     
         12 . The ream wrapper of  claim 8  wherein said colored poly coating is made by mixing polyethylene, polypropylene, or a combination with a dye or pigment.  
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 8  wherein said polyethylene, polypropylene, or polyethylene-polypropylene mix is blended with a colored dye or pigment that matches color of paper being encased in said ream wrap.  
     
     
         14 . The ream wrapper of  claim 8  wherein said wrapper provides a high quality printing surface for the outside of said ream wrap in a color that enhances printing graphics, instantly identifies a manufacturer of wrapped paper product, and/or identifies color of paper encased in said ream wrap.  
     
     
         15 . The ream wrapper of  claim 8  wherein said ream wrap acts as a moisture barrier, protects against physical damage, and uses, more environmentally friendly unbleached (brown) or semi-bleached (tan) paper while still providing an enhanced printing surface.  
     
     
         16 . The ream wrapper of  claim 8  wherein said ream wrap color matches color of paper contained inside wrapped package.  
     
     
         17 . A method of preparing a colored poly ream wrapper comprising: 
 mixing polyethylene, polypropylene, or a combination with a dye or pigment to form a poly mixture;    coating said poly mixture on either side of an unbleached (brown), semi-bleached (tan), or bleached (white) paper.    
     
     
         18 . A method for making a white poly coated ream wrap comprising: 
 mixing a blend of low density polyethylene or white polypropylene with a white pigment or dye additive resulting in a white opaque film;    coating said white film on an unbleached (brown) paper or a semi-bleached (tan) paper.    
     
     
         19 . A method of making a colored poly coating comprising: 
 mixing a blend of low density polyethylene or polypropylene with a blue pigment or dye additive resulting in a blue opaque film;    coating said blue opaque film on an unbleached (brown), semi-bleached (tan), or unbleached (white) paper.    
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19  wherein said poly coating is mixed to match a particular shade recognizable of a manufacturer.  
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 19  wherein said poly coating results in a high gloss printing surface, an eye-appealing ream wrap package, a moisture barrier, and a strong packaging material that protects wrapped paper from physical damage.  
     
     
         22 . A ream wrapper comprising: 
 a bleached, semi-bleached or natural paper substrate having a basis weight of between about 25-75 pounds/3,000 sq. ft.;    said substrate being coated on one side with about 7-15 pounds of polyethylene, polypropylene, polymer resin, copolymer and/or terpolymer resins alone or blended with polyester;    said coating being white or colored with a pigment or dye additive that results in a white or colored opaque product.    
     
     
         23 . A ream wrapper comprising: 
 a solid plastic film substrate coated with a white or colored poly coating which results in a colored or white film wrapper.
