Custom Fish & Chip Paper printed for a UK food business

Printed Food Papers

Custom Fish and Chip Paper

The traditional chip shop wrap is two layers: a greaseproof inner sheet against the food and a printed outer sheet that takes the handling.

It works because each sheet does one job well, and it is still the most practical way to wrap a hot portion of fish and chips.

Design Your Own

Design Your Custom Fish & Chip 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.

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.

Two-Layer Wrap Against a Single Sheet

	Two layers	Single sheet
Grease control	Inner sheet takes it; outer stays clean	One sheet does both, and shows it
Print quality	Outer sheet can be a better printing stock	Compromised by grease resistance
Cost	Two sheets per portion	One
Heat retention	Better — two layers insulate	Less
Speed at the counter	Slightly slower	Quicker

Busy shops sometimes move to a single heavier sheet for speed and accept the trade.

Print the Outer Sheet, Not the Inner One

The inner sheet is soaked in oil within a minute and nothing printed on it survives being seen. Printing it is money spent on something nobody looks at.

The outer sheet stays clean and is what the customer carries home, so that is where the design belongs.

For chips without fish, folded holder papers for chips alone use a smaller sheet and a simpler fold.

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 Fish & Chip Paper: Common Questions

Do we need two sheets or will one do?

One heavier greaseproof sheet works and is faster at the counter. Two layers keep the printed outer sheet clean and hold heat better, which is why the traditional wrap persists.

What sheet size suits a standard fish supper?

Larger than most people first order, because the fold takes a surprising amount of paper. Wrap a real portion with a test sheet before committing to a size.

Which sheet should be printed?

The outer one. The inner sheet is soaked in oil within a minute, so nothing printed on it survives being seen.

What size suits a fish supper?

Larger than most people first order, because the fold takes a surprising amount of paper. Wrap a real portion with a test sheet.

Does the traditional wrap keep food hotter?

Two layers insulate better than one, which is part of why the format persists alongside the appearance.

Can we print a newspaper-style design?

It is a common request and reproduces well in one colour on a light sheet. Send the artwork and we will check it at size.

How fast can staff wrap with two sheets?

Slightly slower than one, which is why busy shops sometimes move to a single heavier sheet and accept the trade.

Will vinegar affect the paper?

Acid works on coatings differently from oil. Tell us if vinegar goes on before wrapping and we will factor it in.

Can we use the outer sheet alone for chips?

Yes, and many shops do for a chips-only order, keeping the two-layer wrap for fish suppers.

Can we order inner and outer sheets together?

Yes, and running both in one job is the usual route. Only the outer sheet needs printing.

Prefer to Talk It Through?

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