specially coated paper

The funny thing is that Naturpapier is in fact "uncoated paper."
So what you have is an oxymoron, i.e., "specially coated, uncoated paper."
So what are we to do? Let's just pretend that since the paper is now coated we can no longer refer to it as uncoated. Thus: specially coated paper.
Info comes from my International Glossary of Technical Terms for the Pulp and Paper Industry.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Klaus Herrmann : Actually, it's not coated, but calendered.

supercalendered uncoated paper

Spezialbeschichtetes Naturpapier is a contradiction in terms. The unique feature of Naturpapier is that it is uncoated. From a (recommmandable) paper glossary:

Allgemeine Bezeichnung für holzfreie oder holz-
haltige Papiere, die im Gegensatz zu gestriche-
nen Papieren keine Veredelung durch einen
Strichauftrag haben. Sie können auch als unge-
strichene Papiere bezeichnet werden.
(http://www.grafedruck.com/pages/PDF/plexikon.pdf, page 33)

Here's what the manufacturer has to say about the Fly paper:
FLY.DESIGN.PAPIER mit 1,2fachem Volumen und spezial geglätteter Oberfläche ist das leistungsstärkste Sortiment im Bereich Naturpapiere.
http://www.papierunion.de/page=presse__artikel/id=24074.jsp

So it's specially calandered, not specially coated. Usually, this is referred to as supercalendered or SC:
