Printed Food Papers

Custom Food Basket Liners

A basket liner is the one printed item that sits directly under the food in a photograph. In a pub or a diner it is seen more often than the menu.

Cutting it to the basket rather than using a square sheet is what makes it look intentional.

Design Your Own

Design Your Custom Food Basket Liners

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.

Shape It to the Basket You Already Own

Most kitchens have baskets in one or two sizes. A liner cut to that footprint sits flat, covers the base and rises just enough up the sides.

Send us a basket, or its internal dimensions, and the liner is cut to it rather than trimmed to fit by staff.

If your basket sizes vary, general fry papers for mixed basket sizes are the more flexible option.

Design Points for a Liner

The centre is covered by food, so branding belongs around the edges.
One or two colours reproduce reliably on an absorbent sheet.
A pattern reads better under food than a single large logo.
Pale designs disappear under oil marks; mid tones hold up better.

Photograph a test print with real food on it before approving a design.

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 Food Basket Liners: Common Questions

Can liners be cut to an unusual basket shape?

Yes, provided the shape can be cut cleanly. Send a basket or its internal dimensions and we will produce a liner that sits properly rather than one that has to be folded in.

Where should the logo sit on a liner?

Around the edge. The centre disappears under the food within seconds, so anything placed there is only seen by the person washing up.

Can liners be cut to an unusual basket?

Yes, provided the shape cuts cleanly. Send a basket or its internal dimensions and we will produce a liner that sits properly.

Where should the logo sit?

Around the edge. The centre disappears under food within seconds, so anything there is only seen by whoever washes up.

What paper suits a basket liner?

Greaseproof for fried food, a lighter sheet for dry items. It follows the food rather than the basket.

Will a pale design show oil marks?

Yes, and mid tones hold up better. Photograph a test print with real food on it before approving a design.

Do these suit a pub?

They are frequently bought for pub and diner service, where the basket goes to a table and the liner is in every photograph.

Can we run two liner sizes?

Yes, and most kitchens have baskets in two sizes. Running both in one job shares the setup between them.

How many colours should we use?

One or two reproduce reliably on an absorbent sheet. A pattern in one colour usually reads better than a detailed mark.

Will the liner slide in the basket?

Cut to the footprint it sits still. An oversized sheet folded in is what slides and looks untidy.

Prefer to Talk It Through?

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