Custom Greaseproof Paper printed for a UK food business

Printed Food Papers

Custom Printed Greaseproof Paper

Greaseproof is the default food paper in British kitchens, and it resists oil for a physical reason rather than a chemical one — the fibres are beaten until the sheet is dense enough that fat cannot travel through it.

That makes it the sheet to reach for whenever hot or oily food touches paper.

Design Your Own

Design Your Custom Greaseproof 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.

Sheet Size Is Set by the Fold, Not the Food

A sheet exactly the size of a burger wraps nothing. You need enough paper to fold under, tuck at the sides and hold closed.

Measure the item, then add the fold on each side. Ordering a common size and hoping it wraps is the usual reason a first order is replaced.

If you are not sure greaseproof is the right grade, how the paper types compare for different food sets out the alternatives.

What It Is Used For

Wrapping burgers and hot sandwiches at the pass.
Lining trays and baskets so they can be wiped rather than washed.
Laying under fried food to absorb surface oil.
Counter wrapping for anything handed over warm.

One sheet size and one printed design covers most of these uses in a single kitchen.

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 Greaseproof Paper: Common Questions

How big should the sheet be?

Measure your item at its widest, then add enough on each side to fold under and tuck. For a burger that usually means a sheet noticeably larger than the burger looks.

Can greaseproof paper be printed all over?

It can, though a full flood of ink looks patchy on an absorbent surface and adds real cost to a product bought for its low unit price. A repeated one or two colour design usually looks better.

Is printed greaseproof safe against hot food?

When both the paper grade and the ink system are specified for direct contact, yes. Tell us what the paper touches and how hot it is, and we confirm the specification on your quote.

How many colours can we print on greaseproof?

One or two reproduce reliably. More is technically possible but adds cost quickly on a product bought for its low unit price.

Will ink spread on the sheet?

Slightly, because paper is absorbent. Fine lines thicken and small reversed-out type can close up, so designs stay simple.

What weight of greaseproof do we need?

It depends on what the sheet holds and for how long. Tell us the food and the holding time and we will specify a grade.

Can we use it as a tray liner?

Yes, and lining a tray so it can be wiped rather than binned is one of the most common uses alongside wrapping.

Does greaseproof work with hot food?

It is designed for it. Where paper also sees oven heat, parchment is the grade rather than greaseproof.

How are sheets supplied?

Flat sheets or reams, with interleaved options where staff need to take one at a time during service.

Will printing show through to the food?

Not with a food-contact ink system, which we confirm on the quote rather than assuming from the paper grade alone.

Prefer to Talk It Through?

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