Custom Glassine Paper printed for a UK food business

Printed Food Papers

Custom Printed Glassine Paper

Glassine is greaseproof taken further — calendered until the surface is smooth and the sheet is translucent. That translucency is why people choose it.

It lets a product show through the wrapping, which suits confectionery and bakery items sold on appearance.

Design Your Own

Design Your Custom Glassine 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.

Translucency Is the Reason to Use It

A wrapped item in glassine is visible as a shape and a colour without being exposed. That reads as considered in a way an opaque wrap does not.

It also means a simple printed pattern over the top creates depth, because the product shows through the gaps.

The same effect in bag form is covered on bags in the same translucent material.

Common Applications

Confectionery and chocolate wrapping where the product should be glimpsed.
Bakery interleaving between layers of pastry or biscuits.
Sandwich and deli wrapping in a premium setting.
Lining boxes where a smooth, non-stick surface is wanted.

It is more expensive than plain greaseproof, so it tends to be used where appearance justifies it.

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 Glassine Paper: Common Questions

Is glassine the same as greaseproof?

It is greaseproof processed further — calendered until it is smooth and translucent. It resists grease similarly and costs more, so it is chosen for the appearance rather than the performance.

How does printing look on a translucent sheet?

Ink sits on the surface and the product shows through the unprinted areas, which creates depth. Designs with plenty of open space use that better than heavy coverage does.

Why choose it over greaseproof?

For the translucency. The product shows through, which sells confectionery and bakery items in a way an opaque wrap does not.

How does printing look on it?

Ink sits on the surface and the product shows through the unprinted areas, which creates depth. Open designs use that better than heavy coverage.

Does it cost much more?

Enough to notice, which is why it is chosen where appearance justifies it rather than as a general-purpose sheet.

Can we use it for interleaving?

It is one of the main uses, particularly between layers of pastry or biscuits where a non-stick smooth surface matters.

Will it hold up against oil?

Well, comparably to greaseproof. The processing that makes it translucent does not reduce its grease resistance.

Do chocolatiers use it?

Frequently, because a glimpse of the product through the wrap is part of the presentation.

What sizes are available?

Cut to your product. Send the item dimensions plus the fold allowance and we will confirm what can be produced.

Can we order glassine bags as well as sheets?

Translucent bags are a related product. Tell us both requirements and we will price them together.

Prefer to Talk It Through?

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