Custom Deli Paper printed for a UK food business

Printed Food Papers

Custom Printed Deli Paper

Deli paper does two jobs at a counter: it is what staff pick food up with, and it is what the food goes home in. Both happen in about four seconds.

That makes handling — how easily one sheet comes off a stack — more important than almost anything else.

Design Your Own

Design Your Custom Deli Paper

Pick a colour, put your name on it, and see how the idea reads before you ask anyone for a price. It is a sketch rather than a manufacturing proof — the real shape is cut from the product you already serve.

Finish

Show a repeating pattern

On unbleached board every colour prints warmer than it looks here. Two inks chosen for kraft beat four fighting the brown.

Carry this into the full designer

The full page adds the size, board, print and quantity, then sends the whole specification over in one go. Nothing is committed to at any point.

One Sheet at a Time, with One Hand

A member of staff at a deli counter is holding tongs or a knife. They need a single sheet to come away cleanly from the stack with the other hand.

Interleaved or pop-up presentation solves that. A loose ream does not, and it slows every transaction slightly.

Cheese has particular requirements, covered on papers specified for cheese counters.

What Deli Paper Has to Handle

Cold, damp goods — cured meat, cheese, olives, salads.
Being folded around an irregular shape rather than a neat item.
Direct hand contact from staff, so hygiene matters.
Sitting in a chiller after wrapping, sometimes for hours.

Lightweight sheets suit this better than heavy ones, which are stiff to fold around soft goods.

Ordering, Artwork and Delivery

Getting a Quote

Measure the item, then add enough on each side to fold and tuck. We reply with a written specification, the minimum order quantity and the lead time for your job.

Artwork

One or two colours reproduce most reliably on an absorbent stock. Full file requirements are set out in our artwork guidelines.

Turnaround

Lead times depend on the print method, run length and press schedule, so we confirm yours on the quote rather than publishing a single figure.

Delivery in the UK

Orders are dispatched on national carriers to any UK address. Seedelivery information for how dates are given.

Custom Deli Paper: Common Questions

How should deli paper be supplied?

Interleaved or in a pop-up dispenser, so one sheet comes free with one hand. A flat ream means staff put down their tongs to separate sheets, which slows a busy counter.

Does deli paper need to be greaseproof?

For cured meats and cheese, a grease-resistant grade is worth having. For dry goods and salads a lighter plain sheet is adequate and cheaper.

What size sheet suits a deli counter?

Large enough to pick up and wrap in one motion. Measure the largest item you handle rather than the average.

Can we print in two colours?

Yes, and a repeating pattern in one or two colours reads well on a lightweight absorbent sheet.

Will the print rub off on food?

Not with a food-contact ink system, which we confirm on the quote alongside the paper grade.

Do these suit a farm shop?

They do, and a printed deli sheet is one of the cheapest branded surfaces a farm shop counter can carry.

How light should the paper be?

Light enough to fold easily around soft goods. Heavy stock is stiff and awkward at a counter where speed matters.

Can we use the same sheet for wrapping and lining?

Often, and many counters do. Tell us both uses and we will specify a grade that suits the more demanding one.

Can the same sheet wrap and line?

Often, and many counters use one grade for both. Tell us both uses and we will specify against the more demanding one.

Does deli paper need to be food-grade?

It touches food directly, so yes, both the paper grade and the ink system. We confirm both on your quote.

Prefer to Talk It Through?

Sizing questions are usually quicker on the phone, especially if you have the product in front of you.
